My 1-year-old cat licks blankets constantly. What does this mean?

Question

So I have a female cat she’s about 1 year old. She licks and sucks on like every blanket and then when pulled from the blanket she won’t Stop making that same tongue motion . It’s creeping me out . She isn’t thirsty, tried giving her water . And she’s already ate . She does this 24/7 literally . Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 12 lbs

Many times cats that exhibit this behavior were taken from their mothers too early and were not properly weaned. It is generally a comforting behavior for Nova. There’s not much you can do to stop the behavior beyond removing the blankets. You may try a pheromone diffuser such as Feliway as it can also cause the pet to feel comfortable. Most cats seem to outgrow this behavior. I hope this helps!
