My old cat was crazy about Vaseline, I had to fight him off whenever I opened the jar.
I’ve never seen him that enthusiastic about anything else. He was like some kind of Vaseline junky.
I mean yeah that is worrying… you as either a person or cat should probably not eat jellified petroleum, yeah.
But… wtf?
Maybe he’s just… hungry?
A very odd cat?
Like I’m trying to look this up, and I’m basicslly seeing this fall into the category of pica, which is essentially a mental disorder that can be triggered by a number of things…
He had a thyroid problem and never managed to gain a lot of weight. Still, he grew to be quite old.
He’s been gone for over ten years now, but I still miss him.

… Was it … regular… or menthol?
Did he… eat it? … or just … huff it?
The regular kind, he just ate it, as much as he could before I managed to drag him away from it.
It was kind of worrying to be honest.

Maybe take kitty to the vet for a checkup?

Ah.
I’m sorry.
I’ve loved and lost a cat as well.
… yeah I’m basically crying right now, don’t know what to say.
Cats don’t have opposable digits. Saving that jelly for later when ya aren’t looking. Or maybe when you are.
