Hi there.

I might have posted this before, but I don't remember, and I also posted it on the Think Like a Cat board.

I have a new male kitty, Oscar, who is about 7.5 months old. He was found on a friend's doorsttep along with his brother,and she took his brother, while I took Oscar home. He is a sweet kitty, I've had him for over 3 months now, and he has adjusted well to my 2 female kitties. Oscar and Precious fight all the time, but they tolerate each other. He and Natalie also fight, but I also catch him sucking on the fur on Natalie's neck about once a week. Any idea why he does this? He sucks on her fur so much that her neck is soaked. Could it be that he was weaned from his mother too early? Is this something that I need to be concerned about? He is a very affectionate kitty, loves to play, and loves to pull my hair and touch my face with his paw....any ideas?
