To discourage your 12-week-old kitten from trying to nurse, you can gently redirect their behavior by offering them toys or treats to play with instead. Additionally, you can try to limit their access to areas where they may try to nurse, such as near blankets or clothing. It's important to be patient and consistent in redirecting their behavior to help them learn that nursing is not appropriate at their age.

How do you teach a kitten to nures?

Most cats/kittens do it on their own. When the kittens are born the mother will lick them and nudge them towards her stomach to nurse. Only when a kitten is being neglected by it's mother, if she licks all the others but one and en out rages them all to nurse but that one, you should rub the kitten down with a warm towel (you should be g gloves so you don't get your sent on them) and move it to the mother to nurse. If she doesn't except it, keep trying, the last resort would be to bottle feed.

Why does your cat try to nurse on a male cat?

When kittens are very young they nurse to get milk from their mother, but this is a very special time for the kitten to be loved, cuddled, cleaned, etc. by their mother. They have fond memories of being taken care of by their mother. When a male cat comes along (especially one that is friendly with the kitten) the kitten will try to nurse for comfort and security. There is nothing wrong with this behavior my kittens do this occasionally.

Would a clan of three adult cats kill a kitten new to your home?

It is very unlikely. Most adult cats don't kill kittens. Adult cats are territorial and want their space. Otherwise, they usually avoid the kitten. Normally adult cats will hiss and growl at the kitten. Then pop the kitten with its paw. Then go away. Some adult cats will adopt the kitten. I have an adult female cat that adopts kittens as her own. She lets the kitten nurse, she cleans it and plays with it.

Why does Juliet tell the nurse that her advice about marrying Paris comforted her?

She no longer trusts the nurse with her secrets. She tells the nurse that her advice has been comforting but this is a lie, and Juliet is just trying to get rid of the nurse at this point.
