It can be a serious issue for abandoned kittens who might nurse on each other. Imagine having to put a little kitten through surgery. The more you know...

Yeah I just saw a video about two kittens. One was male. The female nursed on the male. It almost killed him because he couldn't urinate. And he was too young to have his penis amputated. But eventually they did have to amputate it partially or he would have died.

Here is the video.

Same! That's how I learnt about this issue.
