Don’t be distraught if you catch your kitty chewing on something that isn’t food or a toy. The act can be the sign of a condition called pica. Unfortunately, even expert cat behaviorists aren’t certain what causes pica. They think there could be a connection to nutritional issues, or that it may be caused by stress and anxiety.

If you see your cat starting to chew on things, just be sure to keep an eye on them because it can be bad for your kitty’s digestive system. If they continue to chew on non-food items, you might want to think about bringing them to the vet.
