It is not unusual for a cat to do this, there are several factors that can contribute to this type of behavior. How old was your cat when he/she was taken away from his mother? When a kitten is forced to be weened to young, this behavior almost always comes out, whether it is nursing fleece, blankets, your favorite house coat etc. The act of nursing for a cat releases many types of hormones, a mother cat will often purr and knead (as if she were nursing) when giving birth. There is actually a hormone released that eases pain. In general the act of nursing makes the cat feel safe, and secure.

Why is shearing of sheep done in summers?

A sheep needs the fleece to protect it from cold, wet weather, mainly in the early spring and winter. In summer, the fleece is sheared off and sold for wool. It is done in summer as the weather is usually warm, and the sheep can then be dipped to kill off any ticks that would normally be unreachable through a thick fleece. If the shearing is not done, natural shedding of the fleece will take place, but the fleece and the income from the sales of the fleece, would be lost to the farmer. Sometimes, the market for a fleece is so poor that it is not worth the bother of shearing. In which case, the sheep may be allowed to be shed their fleece naturally, then the dipping can take place.


What are the steps for harvesting wool?

Generally, depending on the animal, sheering the fleece implies catching the animal, subduing it, then running sheers close to the animal's skin in order to separate the fleece from the animal's skin.

It is much better if you do it while she is awake. That way, she can wash her breast(s) when you're done. You don't want to transfer your germs to the baby. We all have germs in our mouth; nothing personal.
