Eating her fur

[sillysiberians]

My big fluffball is a 16 pound Siberian. So her grooming work is never done. We brush her often, but I've noticed that she often eats her shedded fur. She'll even try to pull it off the brush!
She doesn't suffer with hairballs at all, so I'm not sure if it matters or not. Does anyone know if I should stop this behavior, or if it's an indicator of another problem?

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago because a few cats here do it, my Jack included. The best thing you can do is to keep ontop of the swiffing and vacuuming, and any fur you see grab it before she gets the chance and clean the brush after every use
