Hi all!
So Enzo, my 9 year old neutered male, has an outdoor cat enclosure. In order to get into the enclosure you have to open up my sliding back door and there is about two feet of space between that and the cat enclosure door.
Spiderwebs are usually found in the corners. He will make a beeline for where they are usually found. He will even lick the screen door if he sees one. I'm not concerned about bugs all that much, but that doesn't seem to be his interest. It's the actual spiderweb that he wants.
I am concerned about a nutritional deficiency as I can't think of any other reason he would do this (yuck). He eats Merrick limited ingredient turkey wet food, the occasional smart n tasty dental treat, and some cooked pork as a treat daily. He also gets a probiotic. It seems to me that a deficiency of some kind would be unlikely, but why else would he be doing this?
