This may be a sign that the poor thing isn't getting enough attention from the people in her life, or perhaps that she needs some more interesting and engaging interactive toys to focus on. read more

My cat does the same thing - rubber bands, pony tail holders, deflated balloons, anything elasticy. She seems to enjoy the texture or sensation of having something she can gnaw at - much like dogs with bones. read more
