Why does my cat suckle me at night and how can I stop it?

Question

I’ve had my cat for a month, and I can’t get him to stop trying to suckle. As soon as it’s lights out, he goes zombie trying to get to me and just will not stop. I have to put him out of the room so I can go to sleep. My other cat, same age, same shelter, just chills at night. He gets upset being separated so I have to put him out, too. I got kitties to snuggle with and I can’t. He’s fine the rest of the time. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 6 months and 8 days old | 9 lbs

You may want to consider having a spray bottle next to you and when he tries to suckle a short quick spritz to dissuade him. Then pet him. Repitition is important. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
