looks very much like the behaviour of a kitteh who was taken away from her mummycat at a bit too young an age - some cats can be like that with wool jumpers and the like
http://www.catbehaviorassociates.com/wool-sucking/ is about the first result that came up on a quick search

Charlie's done it all his life. His is often accompanied by fucking the blanket or jumper or whatever it is he's suckling. They bite the scruff of the female cat when they mate, so I reckon he's getting all mixed up - going for the suckling, as a comfort thing, and the mating instinct kicking in because he's in the right position. It's a bit weird, but I've learned to take it in my stride 
I should add, Charlie doesn't do the suckling motions Chloe is doing with her mouth. He just holds the blanket or whatever in his mouth. And kneads. And fucks.

makes sense. only worry is that she starts eating it which can then start to lead to other issues.

flipping heck, hardcore cat! I think my cat Hendrix is racist.Every time he catches site of our Caribbean builder Tony or his sidekick Lloyd he legs it out of the door!
I've heard of racist dogs but never cats before

Bugger me. It all happens at once. Wilbur has a blister on his paw pad. Given this is highly unusual for a cat I think I might need the vet again. I suspect he might have trodden on warm firework as that's the only thing I can think would create a blister. I keep checking it and it doesn't smell and he's putting some weight on it but I don't know what I could use on it apart from hibiscrub.

Likely not as he will just lick it off and it could well be toxic.
Salt water, Mogden ? Or butter? Isn't butter good for burns? Mind you, he really will lick that off.

Well this is it you see. Dettol in its original format is super toxic to cats as it goes cloudy in water so I figure the cream is not gonna suit cats either. I need to have another peek and perhaps the saline wiping would be a good idea. I have some canned sterile stuff for my nose piercing to save boiling and cooling. I'm stuck in that horrible middle ground of I don't think it needs a vet yet but if it does get worse and I have to take him, I'll look like a crap cat Moma :S

I swear by emu oil for burns and it's fine for cats. You can get it next day delivery from Amazon

Does your vets' practice let you ring up / e-mail / drop in (without taking kitteh) and talk things through - maybe with a vet nurse? think the place my mogs used to go for maintenance had one or two sessions a week where you could go and get advice.

Well happily Sachin is back for his check up tomorrow so I can try then. I shall have to write it in big letters on the back of my hand. Spent enough money with them the last few months for a bit of blister advice! I really think it must have been a firework as I have no idea how it would have evolved otherwise.

I have had to shut the cats out of the kitchen. I don't know what's wrong with them but they've gone bonkers this evening. They've jumped up on a shelf and nearly pulled it off the wall, knocked loads of stuff onto the floor and broken it and are generally being total fuckers.
I don't really know what to do
They've got food and water. I'm a bit alarmed! It's one thing having kittens wreaking havoc; quite another having 6kg cats bent on destruction

sucking?
weaning too early. think i mentioned she might do that.
i'd leave it unless the skin breaks. if it does and needs cleaning, boiled, cooled water, with a pinch of salt. nothing that will hurt when she licks it off.

Well that failed. They came straight back in, jumped up on the shelf again and knocked all the remaining stuff onto the floor and broke it. I think I'm going to have to take the shelf down

Have there been any fireworks they could have heard? Ours always get freaked out this time of year

Ah yes - that's a good point. I sort of assumed they'd hide under the bed like my last cat did rather than chase one another around the house like beasts possessed but maybe this is their reaction to them.

I don't think he's the ringleader. Bubba K is the leader of the gang (former runt of litter grows up to be big bruiser).At least you know you gave Loki the right name

That shelf certainly looks catted! Mookie is being naughty at the moment. I'm putting it down to fireworks for now and if there's no improvement in a week or so I'll rethink.
In my cat daily news today Sachin is not signed off at the vets. Gum still very red on one side so more pain killers which also have anti inflammatory in them. Advice for Wilbur's poorly paw is just the cooled boiled water with salt and then dried completely. No bandages or cream as it needs to dry out although Savlon is an acceptable cream to use on cats. If it weeps past a couple of days of saline treatment then off to vet with him. I'm putting this here more for future reference than news. So I've still not managed to get down to see and help Ma Mogden with her broken ankle and at this rate it'll be healed before my lot are!
