My 2 month old kitten is obsessed with sucking on his belly

Are you looking for advice?  If so, watch for damage to the skin but otherwise it's fine.  I had a litter of orphaned kittens and they did this to each other.  I was warned that the only thing I needed to be concerned about was if they were sucking on genitals because, apparently, it can cause issues later and, goodness knows, male cats already have a high enough risk of blockages.  

Thank you. Ive been told they do it less and less as they get older. Idk though

HI Chinchy,

How is your kitten doing? Watch for redness, swelling or a yellow or green discharge. Take your kitten to a vet if you see any of those problems.

Thank you

We had a litter of 3 kittens—two females and a male. The litter had been tossed a garbage pail and rescued when they were three days old—no mama to suck on. We bottle-fed them, but the females kept sucking on the boy’s penis. He developed a blockage and two or three surgeries, the last to widen the penis opening. Hope your guys are only sucking on the belly.
