Sounds like he was teaken away from his mother to soon!
He may or may not grow out of it, but you should give him tons of love & attention in the meantime!

How old is your kitten - Normally when a kitten sucks - he or she is looking for a nipple. - If you kitten is younger then 8 - 10 weeks old you may need to consult your vet to get specail instructions on how to handle him or her. The kitten will need more vitiamns also - since the kitten wont be recieving milk from its mom.
do not allow him to continue to suck on your neck - you need to wing him off of it - thier are specail things you can buy for a young kitten to suck on
Drooling is not normal for a older cat - however it sort of sounds like you have a kitten - this may be normal if you kitten is not old enough to be away from its mom yet.
This is all assuming that you have a kitten - If you cat is older - this is not normal.

This is fine. Most kittens love to do this and many don't grow out of it. It reminds them of being with their mother and I think they find it comforting.
One of my cats does this a lot! He's 7 years old, he loves furry things but also woollen jumpers and he can get himself a little over excited shall I say! He has been neutered...so...oh well.
I wouldn't worry about it.

I asked my vet about this once and she said it was just a behavioral thing usually (but not always) from being taken away from its mother too soon. She said most grow out of this habbit but some keep it forever and theres not really anyway to stop it. If you knew exactally what he was chewing on you could coat it with vinegar or garlic or something they dont like that wont hurt them but it sounds like he does it to everything. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The biting- even as he bites you. scruff him as his mama might want to... supply hm a lil shake and placed him down. do no longer enable this play anymore. rather get him a ball with a bell interior and distract him from biting with this. If he's sitting with you and bites at you... placed him down and bypass do some thing else. That way he does no longer imagine that he can chew you. Denying interest will be perplexing yet its ultimate to interrupt the biting now till now he receives older and also you cant spoil it so incredibly! the lavatory on the steps- If he's not neutered, this isn't lavatory... that's spraying. no matter if that's not urine and that's poop rather i might want to judge including a small cat pan someplace down stairs. possibly when we went to apply the cat pan it develop into no longer at its cleanest? or perhaps he does no longer wanna supply up playing and run each and every of how as a lot as use the lavatory! The claws- Get some loaded squirt bottles, and once you word him clawing some thing he's not allowed... spray him till he leaves the realm. i might want to possibly make investments in a cat scratcher. I were given one one from walmart i imagine it develop into 10 money. even as he scratches different then the cat aspect, soak him down till he leaves the realm. i might want to spray them till they enable the *undesirable Nail* section and then take them bodily to the cat tree... and cause them to stand and do their nail on it. They quickly discovered they get soaked utilising the settee or what no longer... and were dry utilising the tree. they welcomed the substitute. you could trim his nails to decelerate the tearing up the carpet. i extremely imagine once he sees the tree and scents it and welcomes it to his abode, that's going to likely be used and by no skill your rug... Mine by no skill extremely did the rug or the couches. make certain each and every man or woman contained in the abode knows the recent *kitty regulations* and follows them. he will be at a loss for words if each and every man or woman does no longer do a similar aspect. and those themes will by no skill end. strong success... Dont supply up!!!

I've had cats that did this in the past. They never out grew it. The vet said it was because they were separtated from their mother too soon.

He may have been taken away from his mom too soon. He will grow out of it eventually, but for now you are his mom.

This is caused from early weening from his mother. It will pass, but will likely not go away altogether. One of my cats used to be very bad about this, but now only does it when she is stressed, such as during storms. They just want to feel more relaxed. If she is suckling you, this means she loves you!!
