How old is she? My cat used to like toilet paper :huh: she should be ok if she didn't eat much just keep a close eye on her :)

Oh I wouldn't worry about it too much. Princess has a particular thing for paper (after bugs) and has shredded a lots of things. She often just will nibble the corner but has destroyed a few things. She's still fine two years in!

I wouldn't worry either- unless she makes a habit out of eating lots of it, day in day out.

She's probably only eating bits of it whilst playing with it, and that's perfectly normal. If she likes the smell of paper try making little balls for her out of the paper she likes (just squash and roll the paper up) then you can flick them round the room to give her something to chase.

Silver foil works really well for that too- and if you flick them into the bath (when it's empty of course) then she can chase them round for ages!

Our barmy bengal chews paper, cardboard and polystyrene, but then he is bonkers. Aero the Havana cat chews cardboard too.
