I follow two things...well three things: politics, horses and cats. Thank goodness for the last two or else I wouldn't be able to handle the first.

πŸ’― Amen and well said! I think loving animals helps us better empathize with humans which is (or should be) core to politics.

Wait.. is that what that is? My cat is a grown man that does that to my arm in the morning to wake me up for food. He was a stray and I suspect he was taken away or lost his mom too soon, because he has other kitten like behavior.

What a perfect handsome man with clear communication skills! 🀩😻 Yes, suckling is typically attributed to being separated from mama too early, but some kitties just choose to continue to comfort themselves this way (or perhaps have trained their person to get them food 😹) I think it’s adorable! πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜»

They’re comfort nursing, like a baby that sucks on a pacifier or a toddler that sucks its thumbs

Good point but also maybe my hand is delicious? 😹 Suckling can definitely be a signal for being hungry but often is just a way they comfort themselves. Bottle babies tend to associate hands with both food AND comfort… but usually outgrow it by now. These two have been extra persistent! 😻
