My cat suckles and makes air biscuits on clothes. Should I worry?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year old | 7.94 lbs

Coco suckles and make air biscuits on the clothes I'm wearing, usually my pyjamas while lying next to me. She purrs while doing so. This behaviour has been present from the time she was a small kitten of 1 month or so. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I wouldn’t be worried, it sounds like Coco is showing behaviors of being happy! Sometimes cats are doing these to self soothe and relax. She sounds like a happy kitten! Kisses to Coco!
