A call to your vet may help clarify...but it definately sounds like he's trying to nurse. My 2 year old "big guy" still kneads and suckles on the fur of one of my other cats (also a male!) so go figure! Vet said it wasn't anything to worry about, some cats do it all thier life. You may want to break him of the biting part by firmly saying "NO" or "NO BITE" when he does. No need to yell just your tome will probably get him to stop. You don't want it to turn into more aggressive biting. Once you've reprimanded him and he stops, give him love again. Let us know!
