This is a bit long and I apologize for any typos--I'm currently only getting 4 hours of sleep a night due to college classes, so I'm having a hard time with just about everything. :creampersian: My lovely boy Po has had a weight problem ever since we adopted him. The shelter we adopted him from...

Has anyone experienced these symptoms in their cat or have any ideas on what I could do? Mainly what I am worried about is when I do not have food on my cat's (Rusty) plate, he looks for plastic to lick/ chew on, and/or spider webs to eat. I know it's related to the food because when I give him...

My cat actively looks for plastic to eat. First it was the shower curtain. He bit holes into it all the way down the edge (without actually eating pieces). I now keep the bathroom locked. Then at dinner time, as I dish out their food, he jumps into the pantry and chews on the plastic they...

Hello all! I have two cats who are a little over a year old who have been chewing on and licking plastic. I follow recipes and do 80/10/10 but still worry about them getting everything they need. I read that chewing on odd things can be a sign of insufficient diet.. Have any other raw feeders...

My calico is 8 years old and has always enjoyed chewing on cords, dental floss, ribbon, shoe strings, plastic, yarn etc. We have had to cat proof our home and cover all the cables because she will chew right threw them. Nothing I did would ever stop her but I am curious if a lot of people have...

My three year old tabby cat named Wally Gator has a fixation with chewing on plastic. He is well fed, very healthy and gets a lot of play time each day. He is very happy and gets along very well with the five other cats in my house. But anytime he finds a piece of plastic he chews on it and...

Hey everyone, Question about my cat, Starbuck. She's picked up a habit of chewing on plastic. As far as I can tell, she doesn't swallow any of it, but it still makes me nervous. I've googled it and gotten results from "it's nothing" to "cat pica," so I want to nip this in the bud. Obviously I'm...

Phoebe, who's terrified of plastic bags moving, has been sneaking into the study and bathroom (low trash cans) and chewing on the plastic bags! We've tried yelling NO everytime we see her doing it (she'll stop, run away, and hide for awhile) but she keeps doing it. We switched to citrus...

My new cat is obsessed with plastic. All plastic, and form. Right now she is across the room trying to chew on the printer. While that is very cute, it is a bit of trouble. She chews up all electrical cords within reach, and of course plastic wrapping if she can find it. She doesn't like...

Hi My cat Misty licks, chews and eats plastic. I have no idea why. Is this bad? It doesn't seem to effect her any. Is there any way I could stop her? I would appretiate any help or advice given.

I found this quite interesting. A friend of mine who has my cat formerly known as Tucker, said that she asked her vet why cats chew or lick plastic, because Tucker does this as well. He said that it's because it contains animal bi-products and there's some kind of taste that attracts plastic to...
