Cat Chews on Certain Fabrics

PROBLEM: Cat chews or sucks on wool and other fabrics.

CAUSE AND SOLUTION: This curious, relatively common feline behavior may be caused by anything from genetic predisposition (Siamese seem particularly prone to it) to boredom. Felines may be attracted to wool garments because they smell and feel like prey. If the cat ingests pieces of the garment, or if the behavior is disruptive, the best approach is to simply deny the materials to your feline.

Quirk BooksThe Cat Owner's Manual is a basic guide to cat care.
The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides cat owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
