Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

"i can b ur angle or yuor devil" etc etc "get a man who can do both" etc etc

Those are calves! So yes, they are small. Calves will often lick or suck on random soft things as a nursing behaviour, like how little kids will suck on their thumbs. They'll do it to each others' ears and, apparently, to this cat.
