That is TOO funny. My cats do that with ponytail elastics.

Maybe. Maybe she has some kind of mineral or iron deficiency? While I may skimp on myself, the cats do pretty well. I buy smaller bags of good quality kibble and vary it, so they don't get bored. I could try them on Science Diet to see if the problem persists.

But if I buy them Science Diet, Flicker better start making offerings of gold dollars!

I have wondered that.

I used to work in a fileroom and would come home with pockets full of paperclips. One of my cats would stalk the paperclips, tracking them by the jingling sound. He was obsessed with paperclips, and would ceremoniously trot off with them, held in his fangs like defeated prey.

He was stashing them, among other places, at the bottom of his food bowl.
