Abstract Fourteen kittens, 2–4 days of age, wee studied on their anesthetized dams for nipple attachment behavior. In agrreement with a previous report (Larson, M.A., & Stein, B. E., 1984, Dev. Psychobiol., 17 ; 423–436) we find that olfaction contributed rather little to nipple attachment in kittens.
