This morning my kitten Ava (aka Lovey) was cuddling in bed with me. I was shirtless, and she nuzzled her furry little body against my bare skin, purring up a storm. How sweet.
Lovey turned toward me and started in with that paw-kneading thing that cats do when they're hungry. They think of their humans as mother figures, and they're trying to stimulate milk production.
This was all well and good. But then she actually tried to suckle.
I screamed.
I may be instituting a t-shirt policy in bed from here on in.

Mine like to get in my hair and do that. I call it making biscuits, or kneading bread.
that's disgusting. Ick.
Oh, she does that one too, Old Lady.
MJ, yes.
I shared your horror. And you've answered a question I've long had-- just what the hell cats were doing when they did that.
Johnny Yen, no kidding about the horror. Anyone who's ever dated me knows full well they are to stay 1,000 miles away. If I were an actual Mama on a desert island, my babies would just have to starve.
But won't Ava look funny in a t-shirt?
Yes, especially with one wrapped tightly around her neck which could happen if she tries that shit again.
What a face!
I've read that adult cats knead when they are content (my cat Josie always purrs while kneading). So once they are all grown up you can leave the shirt off.
Too much information. Funny...but way too much information.
I hope so Creepy. Because I hate sleeping in a shirt.
I know Marg, isn't it great??
autch that would suck
She tried to, Dino!
oh, wouldn't it be great if our beloved children knew the permanent damage they leave to our precious skin?!!?!?
still... we wouldn't trade it for all the bagels in brooklyn, would we?!
Well Katie, all I can say is at the exact moment she put her rough little tongue on that painfully sensitive part of my body I would have considered trading her in. But only for that split second.
She's the cutest lil kitty ! Looks like my old cat. Did you know its rare to find a female orange tabby?
Yes, I have heard that. She is a rare gem, and a munchkin.
Dang Ava, "got Coaster?"
