Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 8 days old | 8 lbs
I have two kittens, both female, both 11 weeks old from the same litter. One(Shiuli) is seemingly nursing on the other's anus. I've tried to stop her but it doesn't seem to be working. Even if she does stop nursing on the other kitten, she will nurse on her own anus. I mean nursing like suckling, not the ordinary grooming licks. Cotton(other) has kicked her in the face but she continues to nurse on Cotton while Cotton is asleep.
