OK--in the past week, Paintball's suddenly taken to chewing up anything paper
she can get her paws on. Why would she be doing this?

She's a cat. It's fun. So, she does it. :)

Assuming she has no nutritional deficiencies or anything...

Is she eating it, or just shredding it?
If she's just shredding it, try getting her one of those cardboard cat
scratcher toys.

She's shredding it, so okay, *whew*. I'll find her something else that she can
shred. Wish me luck, I got her the scratching post and she *still* thinks the
corner of the chair is ideal....

Put that Sticky Paws on the edge of the chair and spray a little citrus
scented air freshener on it. Put her post near to it, but not right next
to it.
She'll choose the post.

Move the post after she uses it consistently.

Don't forget to make the post appealing - praise, treats, and catnip if
she likes it. Play with her near and on it.

Have fun. :)

Try one of the cardboard scratchers they make.
She may like that since she likes paper.

Hide your phone book before she discovers it and
shreds it, as one of mine loves to do.
