My baby girl Tigger is about a year and half old and I have raised her since she was a kitten. Ever since I have gotten her she has had a strange fixation with eating just about anything (pica). I go well above and beyond to completely cat proof my room so that the chances of her ingesting something she shouldn't are slim to none. However when I am sleeping I cannot always prevent her from eating my hair. She used to do this more frequently but it has definitely dwindled as time has gone by. But occasionally she gets a poop that is hanging from her butt by a hair (presumably mine) and she proceeds to drag her bottom on my floor in the attempt to remove it. If I am around, I pick her up and cut the hair from her butt and then clean her up a bit, I know never to pull it. But is this something to worry about? It has happened quite a few times but she does not exhibit any tummy tenderness when I push on her abdomen, she is very lively, drinks roughly 8 oz of water a day, has a healthy appetite of usually a 1/2 cup of food a day, and has roughly 1-2 solid bowel movements a day. About once or twice a week I give her a small amount of over the counter laxatone to help with digesting the hair. I guess I'm just very worried about my little girl and am looking for a little solace in someone else's opinion. I love her so much and I just want her to be as happy and healthy as possible.
