Interestingly, we adopted him when he was about 8 months old after he was picked up by animal control. We had had Eddie for over a year before he started this behavior. My mom made an afghan out of fuzzy yarn and Eddie immediately claimed it as his own and began sucking on it. He occasionally likes to suck on my scarf which is made of a very similar yarn. I don't mind the behavior at all and I actually think it's kind of endearing, since he seems to enjoy it so much, so I don't do anything to stop him. I always thought it might be an early weaning issue, since we have no idea what he went through prior to being rescued from animal control by one of our local animal rescue organizations. Just thought it was odd that the behavior showed up over a year after he first came home with us. Don't tell my mom, but that afghan is designated as Eddie's blankie ;) I have a cat that does this.

I'll say No to early weaning. Thanks for the info! As a cat-owner, I know the importance of keeping my cat healthy and happy…..Now only I realized the cause for the wool sucking behavior in kitty.
