Why do my kittens knead and lick blankets for hours? Is it normal?

Question

my kittens knead and lick a blanket every night for a long period of time, is that normal? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Yes, this sounds like normal behaviors, especially given their young age. While I can’t see them to be sure, your kittens are likely soothing themselves and performing behaviors similar to what they would do while nursing from their mother.
