Why would cat want to eat litter? We use scoopable. I have seen him eat a small amount, why would he? He always seems to be fine but is there a reason for this?

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

If it's a natural litter made from a grain, thats normal as it smells food like to some cats. If it's a clay litter you need to schedule a vet visit and have some blood work done to make sure your cat isn't anemic as eating clay litter can be a sign of that.
If he checks out fine, discuss it with your vet.

It could be due to a lack of some nutrient in her system. Oftentimes cats who lack some nutrient will start eating random objects in hopes of getting those nutrients.

Yea, aenemia can cause even people to eat funny things if it's bad enough. You might want to just double check with your vet.

I'll bet the vet will find an answer for you. Don't worry. He probably is missing some nutrient and the end of the story will be fine.
