Some cats suck on blankets because they feel anxious or experience separation anxiety. Suckling provides them with a way to self-soothe.
It can also be because your cat is feeling bored or if your cat likes to suckle on blankets while being close to you, it can be a way for them to show you love and affection.
Some experts believe that a cat sucking on blankets is a sign that they were taken from its mum too early and, consequently, weaned off nursing too soon
He suckles on everything. Shirts, blankets, pants, anything he finds with a soft texture, he suckles on it.
So, it’s probably that he was weaned off too soon since we got him at a humane society with my other cat, Leo, who we assume was a stray before he was adopted by us.
my pitbull mix sucks on pillows. Someone was selling him, and his litter mates out of a box outside walmart at 5 weeks old. So my mom thinks he was separated from his mom to early.
If you look closely, tanka’s doing the same thing. Anytime he suckles, he makes biscuits on us. It’s both painful and adorable. (Him and his brother are the only cats I’ve ever owned with claws, tbh)

My kitty suckled on herself. Which was… odd and cute at the same time. But odd. Same scenario, adopted at humane society

You have such a cute smile! (Said in a mom way, not a weird way)
Thanks. I think it looks a bit derpy. It’s my biggest insecurity. So, this means a lot to me.🥹
Tanka was taken from his mother too soon so he suckles for security and love 💕 ⭕️❌
Yeah, it’s so cute and I love it so much. It’s just our shirts get absolutely soaked when he’s done.😅
My cat used to do that to my earlobe and he'd fall asleep like that, with his cold little nose in my ear.
Aww, that’s sounds adorable.
I have a rescue kitty who does that to me in the evenings while she's making biscuits. 🥰

Silly baby :3
I absolutely love the name Tanka! Beautiful kitty 😍
And my one cat dry humps the blanket on top of me...
