First, sorry for being so behind, but I was just reading the thread on
kittens being weaned early and always kneading.  I, too, have heard this.
I have found that all of my cats did this, but I figure that they were all
probably weaned early by the owners of the mother who wanted to get rid of
annoying kittens before they lost their cuteness.  However, I am wondering
what anyone would make of my son.  He is currently 10 months old.  He has
been kneading since he came out.  He gets very frustrated if he is nursing
and I won't allow him to knead my breast.  It can get painful at times, so
I usually try to slip my fingers in the way to TRY to get him to knead them
instead.  I certainly have copious amounts of milk, but wonder if he is
addicted to the faster flow.  More of a curiosity thing for me as neither
of my girls did it.  My DH maintains he inherited it from him (laughingly
since DH was definitely NOT bf)!  Any ideas?
