Me advice on kittens? couldn't be me. Don't know much on kittens.

But I used to have a cat, I think it left its mom to early (not 3 weeks, but early) it would 'nurse' on my other cat. Odd but the older cat tolorated it fairly well, considering it was a boy!

Anyway not sure what you mean on suckling, I hope you are talking about cuddling or something, I am a bit err oldfashioned for anything other human animal interaction.

I imagine a kitten is like a kid, gradual weaning and subbing something else (petting, scratching) would prolly work.

How old is he? The kittens are getting rather old and judging by Fires eating habits, she is still nursing quite a bit (takes a lot to make milk)
