Is there a way to break a kitten of the nuzzling habit?

One of my kittens nuzzles a lot, I mean A LOT. I understand that she is simply seeking comfort, but, her sucking on my ears and neck quite frankly is creeping me out. She does it a lot! She's trying to do it right now. She gets very forceful about it too.

I have an appointment to get them spayed on sept 13th will that help?

some cats are nuzzlers and some aren't. I personally love my nuzzlers However, ear nibbling is a bit too much for me too!

One thing you can do is to simply remove the cat when she nuzzles on your ear and distract her with a toy. If you do it enough she might get the message. That's probably the best thing to do. Not sure if the spaying will make any difference. I have a neutered one who is 15 and still loves my hair and tucking his nose into the crook of my elbow or even my armpit at times. I just let him do it and when he's done he's satisfied for a bit.

May I just ask who you made the appointment with? I.e., a vet clinic or a shelter or low-cost spay/neuter organization? I ask because early spay/neuters (kittens less than 12 weeks of age) are generally done for shelter kittens before adoption (to ensure the kitten has been altered and avoiding non-compliance of the new owner)....otherwise, if older, most vet prefer to wait until the kittens are between 4 and 6 months of age, and at an appropriate weight prior to spay/neuter.

It's a vet and she said she could do it a 3 months, we are also getting their shots and a general kitty check up.

Our shelter vet does it at 2 pounds, for our shelter cats as well as the general public.
