    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…

    Maybe take kitty to the vet for a checkup?

      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.

        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.
