Cat Kneading and Suckling Fuzzy Blanket

This is George. He is approximately 7-8 years old. He apparently thinks this blanket is his mom.

Sorry for the bad lighting. I didn't want to disturb him!

Love George. Okay, finally another cat that gets as active as my Zydeco with this behavior. Check out my video if you would like to see similar behavior as George. Zydeco, 4 years old, sucks, kneads and travels from room to room dragging my robe in his mouth. This sucking behavior becomes quite aggressive and DON'T YOU DARE try to remove the robe. Is your cat part feral, by any chance? See video "Bizarre Behavior - Adult Cat ..."

@marlasioux George is not part feral as far as I know, but I didn't get much information about his background when I adopted him, so it's a possibility. :) He isn't aggressive about it at all; he's VERY easily distracted (which is why I didn't turn on a light in my video) overall, but especially when it comes to this. It seems he's embarrassed if he gets caught doing it, haha. He has never moved rooms with the blanket.

What an adorable little guy! lol My kitty does the same thing. The kneading thing they do with their paws actually comes from as early as when they are born. Its what they do against their mothers nipples to help push the milk out. Usually when a cat is doing this, it's a sign of feeling safe, secure and comfortable.
