He always sucks and kneads on blankets, he's a year and a quarter now, dafaq?
Suckling can continue throughout their lifeIt can be a sign of being weaned to earlyIt can also just be a comfort thing to them (like humans sucking their thumb) - they suckle on their mother and knead her to stimulate milk flow so some cats continue doing this as a comfort thingIf the cat has just moved houses, or any sudden stressful changes may mean the cat suckles as a comfort (stress reliever) It is apparently more common in oriental breedsIt can also be a sign of a deficiency (lack of certain nutrinets, lack of fibre etc)It can also be boredom - make sure the cat has plenty of stimulating activities (scratch posts, windows to look out of/access outside, play with them daily, consider food puzzles/balls etc It isn't something you need to change - BUT do be sure to not leave blankets etc out when you arent aroundSince the cat coul eat wool and cause internal damage (blockages) - so best to remove suckable objects when you aren't aroundOne of mine suckles my clothing but nothing else - so I see that as comfort rather than nutrional reasonsBut I would remove wooly blankets etc as I would worry about her sucking them and eating bits.
I am not sure how storing a glue gun on its side would be lethal? The reason you need to stand it up while the tip is hot is so the melted glue won't run everywhereMany people use an old cookie sheet, foil, or even a paper plate to stand the hot glue gun on while they are working with itYou can even buy glue gun stands, or use something flameproof such as a terracotta pot weighted with a rock to hold it while you are working with itOnce it has cooled down, there is no absolute reason to keep it standing I lay mine flat to store it all the time.
