Cat owners may find that their cats really like to bite things like bed sheets, and sometimes may even swallow the threads on them, which should be stopped! So why do cats have this habit?

　　Some kittens like to hold textiles in their mouths, which may be a kind of comfort for them. Most kittens have this habit, while some do not. But those kittens who appear not to have this habit may not only like to bite these items but may have likely swallowed them all. For some reason, these cats seem to prefer wool products.

　　We do not know why this is, but it is quite common in Siamese and Burmese cats.

　　This phenomenon is also more common in cats that were weaned early (2-4 weeks). We are not sure if early weaning necessarily leads to this habit, but it may be somewhat related.

　　Since swallowing textiles can cause very serious digestive diseases, we must try to prevent it. It is best to put clothes into cabinets and not let them access these items.

　　If this habit has become so severe that it must be forcibly stopped, medication treatment is necessary.

　　Some researchers point out that giving them some rawhide toys may shift their attention from clothes to toys. This is a method worth trying.
