I adopted a cat a few months ago & she 'sucks' on my clothes at every opportunity she gets!

I love her dearly but this is getting ridiculous. She comes & jumps on my lap & then she 'claws' my clothes as she is sucking as though she thinks I am her mum.

she is approx 12 months old

If you find a way to make her stop let me know.  I have a cat that won't stop licking the power cable to the vacuum cleaner.  I finally had to start putting it in a closet with a child lock on it.

Spraying it bitter apple or a hot pepper solution should theoretically stop that.  Anything that just smells bad to the cat should be a good deterrent.  Just make sure it's non-toxic in case they decide they want to taste it anyway.

Also removing them from it repeatedly and consistantly.  Or the old pennies in a can trick - they go near it, you shake the can.  And the old water bottle.  But you do have to keep the pennies or bottle with you and be diligent until the cat makes the connection and gives up.

My cat responds well to the sound of a clap with a stern, loud "NO!".  She gets 2 of those and then I get up to remove her from whatever she's doing (usually scratching the door jambs).  I don't even have to get to her anymore, just my standing up and she very primly slinks away.

Again, cats are smart - they know when they're misbehaving. They're just checking to make sure you're paying attention.  ;o)

Good grief, OP, please don't listen to this person.  That poor cat was removed from it's mother too early as others have said.  It's not doing anything "wrong".  She'll probably grow out of it.

That's a Tuxedo cat you have there, by the way.  Very cute.
