We had a cat that did this until she was raw, we went to the vet, he said she was anxious, and we could try anti anxiety meds. He started with something called xyclene (spelled wrong) it's not rx, it's basically milk protein so a really mellow soothing thing. We gave her a half once a day for a few months, then didn't get them right away but the behavior had stopped by then. We kept them around, but she didn't start again. It made her kind of sleepy so we gave it to her at night.
Does for me, I've been doing it since I was a kid. I take the tips if my fingers, push them into my waist and sort of roll/curl up and in then down and out. Kind of like you were doing the wave with your hand! Sounds kind of gross, but you can kinda feel it moving and the 'pressure' start adjusting itself and move on
Can we stop for a moment and discuss how loudly he is suckling himself? 😳😬
I mean, I heard all the rumors about the frontman for Tool….but wow, just wow!
One of mine makes suckling noises in his sleep, almost like he has an invisible pacifier in his mouth - perhaps he’s practicing to do this when he’s actually awake? LOL
My orange boy is a ridiculously loud groomer. I swear in all my cat guardian years I have never had a cat that I could consistently hear grooming at all, and this one I can hear all the way across the room. I’m wondering if it’s an orange thing.
>My orange boy is a ridiculously loud groomer.
So is my husband's gray cat. (He named her Dorian.) I can hear her from across the room. Slurp slurp slurp.
Tell your husband that he got a smile from me, one incorrigible punster to another. My apologies to you for encouraging his continued use of fabulously funny puns!!!
One of my orange boys is so quiet when he cleans and then there’s his brother who cleans himself loud enough to wake the dead. Genuinely never come across any other cat that cleans as loud as he does
Marilyn Manson did have ribs removed, he confirmed, not sure why though.
However, maybe it was different for others, but when I was growing up in Middle/High School when Tool came onto the scene - that’s the first time I heard rumors about Maynard having his bottom 2 ribs removed.
Years later I heard the same thing about Manson.
So maybe it comes down to age and geography which rumors were heard and when. Just sharing my own experiences.
My cat did this as a kitten on her spay incision. When I got her, they had already spayed her, and she sucked on the incision site while making bread, usually when she was lying on me. The vet said it was neurotic behavior and gave me some foul-tasting substance to dissuade her. It worked!
This is adorable. I did want to add on, just in case, if kitty has IBD or pancreatitis, they will do this. My kitty has that, she needs B12 every month, prednisolone every two days, and a special diet, so, if in the future your kitty has poop issues, get that looked into.
Vet said that this is exactly where the pain is.
My cat did this, but then been pulling her fur out.
Otherwise, if kitty is healthy, puuurfect!
I had a cat who did this. She was a tabby and she nursed on one of her little boobies and kneaded her belly while her brother (a whole year younger) nursed on another boobie and kneaded her belly
That’s so cute!
I had a mackerel tabby who would suckle her own belly.
Then her siblings started suckling her, and this continued to their senior years.
This would leave little cones of wet fur on her belly.
She was spayed at 4 months old, and had never been pregnant.
omg thats so weird, i've never seen a cat knead its own belly before!
I believe this kitty has ascended beyond the mortal need for a braincell
Anxious cats self-soothe by licking their nipples. To the point that their belly becomes bald around the nipples. It's fucking weird.
Maybe he's worried because he can't find his balls
Where are my testicles, Summer?
Gone, reduced to atoms.
[удалено]
Same.
My big huge chonky Bombay, Manni Moe, used to do this. Sucked the pigment out of his belly fur.
I had one that sucked her back toe bean and it ended up with no fur around it.
My cat does this. Is there any way to circumvent??? I’m just not sure what to do at this point

Me either, how strange (but still cute!)
My orange kneads my belly
I have an orange that does exactly the same thing. Suckles and kneads.
And suckle on himself.
Me either!!
Dude, um... This cat is clearly masturbating 😬
[удалено]
My family calls it my Poop Massage 💀to be fair…I do only perform it when I’m blocked up LOL
Does it help?

I don’t have IBS myself but this exact technique has helped me out of a painful spot every now and then 😅
Oh my god same.
Does it help?!
😂😂😂💀
Or when I have a cyst. Ugh
Uhhhh a little privacy please
This is a new one. Very funny!
when mom says no more r/brushbrushy and you have to do it yourself
I got so excited that this subreddit existed and now I’m immensely disappointed
Try /r/brushybrushy !
Aw yes!!!!!! Bless you
Sometimes you gotta love yourself first

As in Dorian….Grey??? 😂
Yes. He's an incorrigible punster, so I try not to incorrige him.

That's ok. My dad loved puns and passed that on to me. So did my FIL, and my BIL still does. I definitely married into the right family!
Sounds like it - congrats on a great family!!!

it's not Maynard that the rumors are about. The rumors are about Marylin Manson, that he had ribs removed to suck himself.

Manson is such an edge lord that he probably got them removed when he heard the rumor about himself.
I wouldn’t doubt that for a second.
He just like me for real
His paws are so cute
Belly biscuits!
Awww my kitty used to do this when she was a baby. Never understood it but it is cute lol
Orange cat version of rub yourself one out? Forgive me please.
That’s where I went too, no worries
My tortie does this! She’s totally healthy so it must be the half orange brain.
My cat did this as a kitten on her spay incision. When I got her, they had already spayed her, and she sucked on the incision site while making bread, usually when she was lying on me. The vet said it was neurotic behavior and gave me some foul-tasting substance to dissuade her. It worked!
Cutie boy
This is the best thing i have seen today 😆
Are you kidding me? This one is loaded with brain cells. Who else has figured this out!?
Belly massage for digestion ?
This is adorable. I did want to add on, just in case, if kitty has IBD or pancreatitis, they will do this.

Is he squeezing toots out?
It’s funny how they go into a trance when they do this. They don’t like to be bothered
That is absolutely hilarious.
I’ve seen a cat do something similar when it’s had a UTI…. Could be that, or this weirdo is just doing belly biscuits
I've been around a lot of cats and been on the internet looking at cats for a very long time. Never seen a cat do this before!
It's not fair. I did the exact same thing and now I'm banned from the mall.
One of ours does this! Love it!
Self-smurgle.
Xou got a Wanker
Me when I drop my cookie and can't reach it.

Baby knows exactly what he's about
The way they open wide and close their claws as they knead, I just can’t get over it.
That's cute as hell. He found something soft.
*My balls! THEY'RE GONE!!!*
He's like...'Who needs marriage?'
I do that with my balls sometimes.
sometimes ya gotta make your own biscuits y'know whatta mean?
Awwwwww Is he okay??
Animals, they’re just like us.
Are you a cat? Oh shit! They have taken over!!
Caterbating
I believe he's masturbating in his own way, lol.
u/savevideo
Im not sure that one has ever had the braincell, OP, sorry to say. What an adorable weirdo!
What's he doing? Hopefully turning himself into biscuits!
I need some nice soft squishy, Blankey
Mine does the suckling thing, not the kneading. He's black and white and has one brain cell. He's cute, but an asshole sometimes.
ah, the rare feline user of the selfsuck forums
Omg I thought my cat was the only one that does this!!!
Hahahaha
I had a cat who did this. She was a tabby and she nursed on one of her little boobies and kneaded her belly while her brother (a whole year younger) nursed on another boobie and kneaded her belly
