Mystic if i were you i would have stuck the sandwich in the fridge if it was a cold sandwich or microwave if it was a warm one just so that i wouldnt have had to keep an eye on it LOL.

Yes, I will need to do something like that next time. She would no doubt stand outside the microwave or refidgerator wailing, but at least she would not be attacking me while I was on the phone trying to hold a conversation. I still have a stratch on my arm from yesterday.

Emerald, although it may not be Midnight's case, it is NOT uncommon for cats who are stressed, OCD, or weaned too early as kittens (before 8 weeks or so), to self-sooth by continuing to nurse/suckle after adolescence or maturity.

Consider your cat may have a greater chewing need than others, in which case rawhide strips, or raw chicken necks (whole or chopped in pieces) may be given. Believe it or not, raw chicken and turkey necks are completely safe for cats and dogs, as the bones are soft, won't splinter, and are easily chewed and digested. There has NEVER been been a case of a cat/dog being harmed by this, and any Vets who disapprove of this, are simply woefully uninformed.

You can also offer catnip, cat grass, or lettuce on which to nibble, which may provide an acceptable outlet for licking, suckling, or chewing needs.

One can also transfer the behavior onto a non-toxic, non-ingestible, cat-safe object. Choose one w/o plastic or ribbons (etc.), i.e., nose, eyes, whiskers, that can conceivably be sucked or chewed off.

Completely rub the chosen object all over Mystic's belly/chest/mammary glands to cover it w/her scent/body oils/milk. When Midnight goes to suckle Mystic, present him/her with the object. Be gentle and patient. The more often you do this, the sooner the "little sucker" will switch over.

There is also a product called the "Catsifier; a pillow on one side, with 4 nipples on the other. Some cats will transfer the behavior to this.

What breed is Midnight?

My darlings have continued their streak of good behavior. Of course, I was gone most of the day yesterday, and things may have happened that I'm not aware of However, whatever they did, there is no evidence of it.

Isnt that always the case though no obvious evidence or so you think for a bit then you find the hidden evidence of the romp and torture like 3 days later LOL.

Wow, I got free vocal accompaniment at dinner. Misty "serenaded" me with meows nonstop during the entire time I was preparing dinner, when dinner was in the oven and when dinner was served. Guess she should be rewarded with a few tidbits for all of her efforts, LOL.

ETA - After all that effort, she ended up turning up her nose at steak. Angel, however, thoroughly enjoyed it.

My new contact lenses came in and I'm wearing them a lot, but the cats are glad I still sometimes wear my glasses. They love rubbing up against them, especially when I'm trying to watch TV. Not the easiest thing to do when kitties are messing with your glasses!

Mine are hard to predict. I noticed that the price of the meat, fish, or poultry has nothing to do with whether they'll eat it or not--sometimes they turn their noses up at expensive cuts of steak and expensive types of fish, yet will gobble down canned tuna. Angel isn't nearly as picky as Misty. Maybe that's how Misty stays so tiny.
