I have a 2 y/o that I adopted when he was 10 weeks old. Never been outside, never been yelled at, socilaized but is the BIGGEST scaredy cat when he hears a strange voice. He has the habit STILL of kneading and suckling, only instead of his tail, it's mu 18 year old abbey that he does it to! He gets a knot of fur anywhere, anyway he can and goes to town!! He is not exactly affectionate and he never purrs either! The vet said he may always suckle and knead and that it means he is content and happy and feels dafe. He told me not to discourage the bahavior because it is his only means of affection.
