Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Blanket Babies

Some cat owners are surprised to discover that their feline companion enjoys sucking on blankets or fabric. Experts believe that this behavior, reminiscent of a baby, may be a result of kittens being separated from their mother too early.

When cats "nurse" on clothing, it can be a display of deep trust in their human caregiver or a self-soothing behavior when they feel stressed. It's a good idea to have a blanket handy unless you want all your sweaters to be drenched in cat saliva.
