1927.0. "Is it love?" by CURIE::SADLER_TEMP () Mon Oct 31 1988 19:15

    Hey, here's something...
    
    Pumpkin is in love with my sweater.  (Actually, I think its LUST!)
    The sweater is made from untreated wool straight from Ireland.  She
    rolls in it like she is in a frenzy.  She followed me everywhere
    I brought the sweater, and immediately pounced on it when I put
    it down.  Its a bulky fisherman knit made by my aunt.  She bought
    the wool on a trip to the land_without_snakes.

1927.1She got the shirt off my back!SWAT::COCHRANEMon Oct 31 1988 19:209
    I lost a shirt to Niniane.  It's just a regular summer type shirt
    made out of t-shirt material.  She loves it!  When I put it away
    for the winter, she pulls it out of the box, and drags it around
    the house with her!!  I finally gave up and gave it to her.  She
    kneads it, chews on it and drags it around the house.
    
    Talk about a security blanket!!

1927.2Animal FatFSHQA1::RWAXMANMon Oct 31 1988 19:247
    I read in Cat Fancy this month that what your cat is attracted to
    is the animal fat in the wool.  They say smearing butter on a saucer
    and giving it to your cat will have the same effect and spare your
    sweater from further harrassement.

    Honey does the same thing to an 'Irish knit' sweater I brought home
    from Scotland.  He's also got a thing for my wool blanket.  Must
    be the lanolin.
    
    Re: .-1...Roberta, I tried the butter on the saucer; Honey rolled
    in that, too...

    My Lara like cloth also, but is very satisfied with a toilet
    seat cover or her suckie bankie, which is a piece of fake fur
    (pink) - if all of the above are not right under her mouth,
    she will opt for whatever I happen to be wearing !!

1927.6Vitamin Deficiencies Too...FREKE::HUTCHINSFeathered Obsessions AviaryTue Nov 01 1988 16:136
    Cravings of this type are also indications of vitamin deficiencies.
    Just for fun, try a vitamin supplement in thier foods and see if
    they start leaving your clothes alone!

1927.7Liquid Supplements?CURIE::SADLER_TEMPTue Nov 01 1988 16:254
    Re: vitamin deficiencies.  One of my kits will eat vitamins, furball
    medicine, snackies, etc.  The other one will only eat `cat food'
    and an occasional piece of turkey breast.  What's a good liquid
    vitamin that I could pour onto the IAMS?
1927.8my green robeVIDEO::TEBAYNatural phenomena invented to orderWed Nov 02 1988 11:517
    One of mine, Fiver thinks my big green cuddley robe is his
    moma. Everytime I wear it he jumps up and sucks on a corner of 
    the collar. I have another robe same material,bought at the same
    time but it is maroon color.  He never bothers it just the green
    one. Within two seconds of seeing the green one and getting to
    it he is nursing away. His moma was a yellow cat not green!
    
1927.9um...not sure!FREKE::HUTCHINSFeathered Obsessions AviaryFri Nov 04 1988 15:5113
    Re: .7
    
    Gee, if you feed Iams...you should not need vitamin supplements.
    If the cat chews on clothing though, check with your veterinarian.
    We have stopped this by offering cotton dipped in Caro syrup every
    time someone eats something non-food.  And, I don't know what liquids
    are available....that's a good question!
    
    BTW:  I went to an Eukanuba seminar almost a year ago...What a night!
    They showed videos of their upcoming commercials - which they NEVER
    used in the past.  Are'nt they great?!
