Be careful letting them nurse on his genitals because it can cause serious health problems that can cause urinary retention from penis swelling, and sometimes the penis will need removed.

Imagine a penis pump left on for hours. Multiple times a day. Basically that.

Yeah. Not okay.

Kittens can't tell the difference between nipples and penises.

In the photo it looks like one of the kittens is doing this.

If you know the original poster, please inform them.

Cats can't possibly be this dumb? Why would he tolerate that? How have they not evolved a defense mechanism against (I can't even pronounce the attrocity, I'm not a 4channer).

I don't think a kitten can tell. A fleshy warm bump surrounded by hair is what they like.

Even adult cats are known to nurse on fuzzy blankets.

Here is a video about two orphan kittens. One nursed on the male kittens genitals and it almost killed him.

Very serious business.

Spoilers he didn't die but came very close to it.
