Talk to your veterinarian if you have concerns about your pet’s nutritional needs and abnormal eating habits. The behavior begins around one year of age and there may be a genetic link. Oriental cats, such as the Siamese and Burmese, have a propensity for eating and sucking on wool or other fabrics. Some animals have a true compulsive disorder. Early weaningĬats that are weaned early may develop nonnutritive suckling of their littermates and/or inanimate objects. For example, some cats have been reported to initiate pica upon the introduction of new animals to the house. AnxietyĬats that are anxious, such as those suffering from separation anxiety, may redirect their stress to abnormal eating behaviors. When not provided with adequate exercise, mental stimulation, interactive toys, and/or social interaction, cats seek out their own activities and toys. For example, some animals eat soil when they have mineral deficiencies. It is important to rule out an underlying medical problem as the cause of pica. Causes Nutritional deficiency or other medical problem Pica can lead to medical problems including poisoning, dental problems, and gastrointestinal obstructions. This behavior can be a symptom of an underlying medical problem, such as nutritional deficiencies, or behavioral problem, such as anxiety, boredom, or true compulsive behavior. While many cats chew on a variety of objects, only a subset actually consumes the objects. This problem, called pica, is defined as the persistent chewing and consumption of non-nutritional substances that provide no physical benefit to the animal. Some animals develop unusual eating habits, consuming objects such as rocks, wood, plastic, strings, rubber bands, and other non-food items.
