Eating paper/tissue

Okay... Bella has this habit of either eating the posters in my room or eating just random paper laying around. Obviously this is not good for her digestive tract.

Secondly, after I blow my nose, she goes after the tissue I just balled up! she doesn't eat it, or doesn't mean to I don't think, she just likes chasing it around.


I don't know what to do about this, she just loves to do it and it worries me. Any suggestions, thoughts?

Dexter is a paper/plastic bag muncher.
My solution is ....
I don't leave anything where he can get a hold of it including books, mail etc.

It can be done....
most of the time.
Good luck.

Yeah, I would just try to keep the paper away! My kitties like to play with the tissues too, so I ball up a clean one and let em have at it! They never really eat it though!

Flowerbelle is a paper tearer, and Ming Loy will go after ANYTHING plastic. Flowerbelle doesn't eat the paper, but Ming Loy does eat the plastic. We just have to make sure there isn't any "lying around." It seemed like a real pain-in-the-butt at first, but now that we're used to it, it's no big deal.

Yeah, I would say just don't leave that kinda stuff out.

Jack does pretty good with that. However hubby was sick this past week and after using the tissue was throwing it from our bed into the trash can. Jack is an avid retriever and plays fetch at least 45 minutes a day. He saw daddy throw something and proceeding to retrieve it right back to daddy. We won't throw anything but toys from now on...

Oh no...

Blossom is a tissue freak. I have to keep the tissue boxes upside down so she doesn't empty the box. I don't think she eats them, just makes a big mess. She sometimes likes to chew on paper as well. When she was a baby, lots of books, brouchers etc had little holes in the corners.
Keep used tissues in a litter basket with a lid.

Isaac loves to tear paper and cardboard. I try to not leave it out, but if it's on the kitchen table it will get shreded. I can't tell you how many bills I've sent out with the corner ripped off.

My two boys LOVE plastic and paper. Pico likes to eat EVERYTHING. Straw wrappers, toy mice tails...I just have to make sure I don't leave them around. All mice get their tails amputated before they are given to the cats (toys of course ). Crazy kritters!!!
