The cause of "orphan disease" which is often seen in cats is the fact that they are weaned too early from their mother.

Remember: to ensure the normal development of the kitten and its psychological well-being, it is important not to separate it from its mother until the age of 12 weeks, as this time is necessary for the kitten to develop a sense of security and affection.

Symptoms of the disease include the animal's habit of obsessively sucking or gnawing on fabric, and sometimes even the neck, arm, or ear of the person caring for it.

At the same time, the pet salivates profusely, and its paws knead everything that is under them.
