My kitten suckles .. she'll do it on my arms, ears, neck, etc.

Is this good or bad or just cute?!

It sounds like she was weened too soon. It should lessen as she gets older but it could be a lifelong habit. I work with someone who has a five-year-old male that still does it pretty often. I'm not sure if there's a behavioral solution to this problem...I don't think so. Maybe someone else knows.

One of mine used to suckle my male cats chest...he did eventually grow out of it. I think most of them do...at least to some extent.

It's not so bad, it's just we are in the midst of 'training' her to sleep w/ us at night (instead of locking her out and getting her angry at us!!) and she constantly will sit on our necks and suckle.

She's so cute when she does it

I just didn't know if it was good or bad.
