Is anyone familiar with PICA? from what i understand its related to OCD, where i obsessively and compulsively chew on things that are inedible. for me its cotton. if you read my blog, you'll see that i mentioned that i eat all of mom's clothes, her bedding, and such. i think i've left holes on anything i can sink my teeth into.

anyway, i was just seeing if anyone else was familiar with that and knew of any kitties with it. also, any advice for curbing it?

Hmmmm. You know, when humans do that kind of thing it is usually blamed on having a mineral or vitamin deficiency, also, you never outgrew that because little kitties and puppies chew on all kinds of things but outgrow it. You may have a subconcious desire to never want to grow up, to always be a kitten because of "nipple anxiety". Competition from being in a large litter for mommy's milk?
