Why would a cat 'nurse' from a dog's mouth?

In: Cats
[Edit]

Answer

was the kitten weaned too young (separated from mother before it was ready to stop nursing)? That is the only thing I can think of. Maybe the texture of the dog's mouth reminds kitty of momma.

Answer

I agree that the cat may have been weaned to young, however kneading is also a comforting motion it often means that the animal is content... feels secure with whom they are kneading on....
