My cat has a new hobby. She is now 17 years old and was never one for playing with toilet rolls to see how much paper they held or how long they were. Her main interest was a soft bed and food. Now and again she would go on a territorial inspection tour outside, but now she has made a new discovery.
She has discovered the box of paper handkerchiefs next to my bed. Not that she uses them to wipe her nose, she likes to tear little pieces off and examine them to see if they are edible. I did tell her to leave them alone, but the translation from human to meow is not so successful. I told her it was not so hygienic for human needs. It was when she discovered that Mr. Swiss has exactly the same box on the beside table, that the situation was becoming serious.
However Mr. Swiss has found the solution to the problem to remove this edible paper bait: quite simple. He turned the box upside down.

Teddy shreds them. He digs into the box and drags them out and shreds them. He did a whole box this morning. I hope it’s not another dog – cat telepathic relationship.

Tabby has never done anything like that, he seems to have found a new hobby. I don’t like him chewing them, as I often don’t see him do it.

My grand kids do that. They would love to take all these paper napkins out and shred them into tiny pieces. And then try to eat them.

I found Tabby doing it by chance and I was not very happy about it.

It is pretty dangerous for babies and I guess for cats too.

I don’t think you’d manage to fool any of the cats I’ve had over the years that easily but for your sake I’m glad you did.
