A woman who adopted two cats from my rescue group has one cat who e=is eating clothing and swalling bits of it. They put all the clothing away and then the cat starts to eat things like pillow cases, and other things that are very hard to put away. Some of the cloth ends up in the poop. It seems to happen with much more frequency when they are away, like when they're at work. Sometimes it happens at night although the cat sleeps with them.
I suspect separation anxiety that is manifesting in this behavior and have suggested she consult a vet, and consider anti-anxiety meds for a few months, but I don't know what else to suggest at this point.
Ideas would be appreciated.
Anyone who has experience with this please comment.
thanks
Stephen
