Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007Odd eating habits
Hi... I opened the closet door under the sink in the laundry room this morning and discovered a bar of soap which had teeth marks on both sides. It had to be Thomas as the bottles and boxes were all knocked over! He isn't showing any ill effects from his munching, but my imagination is picturing a tummy full of suds! Is he the exception, or do all cats try to eat odd things? He won't touch any people food, but he tries to eat tinsel and soap...Thomas' Baffled Mom(Hazel B.) > Hi...

My Cocoa likes to lick bars of soap for some reason, so we have to keep it in a soap dish for her protection! We recently had a wall retiled, and while the old tiles were off and the plaster was exposed we caught Merlin licking it eagerly as if it was the best thing he'd ever tasted. We had to cover it in the end as he kept going back for more!! Deb.

I don't use soap bars, but they chew on cardboard boxes, plastic bags, shoe laces... etc. This is a text-only newsgroup. Please don't post your messages in HTML.

SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 Tigger is very attracted to plastic bags. Normally she is a very well behaved cat and a slightly stern voice will cause her to stop whatever she is doing that is objectionable. But with plastic bags she just looks right at me and continues to chew even while being sprayed with water. I have to unpack the groceries in the garage or she will eat enough to make her sick while I'm out getting the second load. All trash cans with bags in them must be concealed. Magazines that come in plastic must be immediately opened and the plastic thrown away. It's very strange. > Tigger is very attracted to plastic bags. Muriel occasionally just *has* to lick plastic bags. Sometimes it means she's thirsty, other times it seems to mean she needs more variety in her diet. And sometimes it just means we have a dead tasty bag. Plain white LDPE is the best. Zeke used to lick the emulsion off photographs. We had to hide them from him. And this evening I had to pull Splodge's face out of our salad. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 Jack Campin wrote > And this evening I had to pull Splodge's face out of our salad. I had to share my cauliflower with Abelard yesterday. He grabbed the first piece off my plate, the rest I gave when he begged for more. I felt so bad that I had only cooked one portion, that I bought a whole cauliflower today. I had some raspberry-flavored soy yogurt today, and guess who had to have some of that as well.... Sometimes I'm convinced that cat is intent on morphing into a human. Am 12.01.2007 schrieb Ollie via CatKB.com: > Tigger is very attracted to plastic bags. It's the same with Tientje here. He is addicted to plastic. As soon, as he notices it, he comes running and starts licking. His face shows an expression of pure ecstasy:-) We let him lick a while, then we have to put the plastic in a closet.

Then he chews on it just enough to break it into pieces. And the vacuum doesn't pick up the pieces very well; so I am bending over picking up bits nd pieces and splinters. Funny he doesn't get splinters in his mouth. -- CATherine >>Hi...

I've seen him eat rubber bands, tinsel, and paper to start with. Of course I don't feed them to him.....he pounces on them before I can stop him, silly boy. I give them olive oil in their gooshy food, which seems to help it out the other end.... heybey@webtv.net (Hazel Baker) wrote in news:9966-45A7B83D-124@storefull- 3331.bay.webtv.net: > Hi...

I would think if he actually ate any you would have found evidence somewhere on the floor, probably when you were barefoot.
