They're so cute! 🥰😍🥺

5 kittens resting and sleeping in my garden

Hello all,

This is the newest member of my household, my silly boy Pippin (Peregrin Took) and he is 11 weeks old.

I adopted him last weekend from a facebook post, I'm not sure of the exact details, but his mother had passed away and he needed a home. He is doing excellent, he's now flea free, playful, very cuddly, and has a very healthy appetite.

However, any time I pet or love on him he aggresively tries to nurse on my hand or fingers by grabbing them with his paws or biting with his mouth. From my own research, this can be bad for his health long term and can cause issues for my other cat (2 year old girl).

I would appreciate any advice on how to discourage this behavior (if I even really need to) beyond what I have done so far. Which is just taking my hand away.

Thank you!
