That's probably a sign of stomach issues too, the cat should be seen by a vet
Sometimes my cat tries to eat things because we have scolded her for trying. Obviously if we don't want her to eat it, then it must be super delicious. Some cats are just kinda weird.
That's a good point, it does depend on the cat, and responsible owners know what's normal for their cat. In general though, cats can tell when something is toxic to them. If they're eating small amounts of something toxic, it's a potential sign of health issues.
Huh I should probably get my cat to the vet... He likes to eat small amounts of hair, leaves, dust and almost all human food (bread, uncooked pasta, sweets, etc. etc.). Of course only until we stop him. We thought he's just bored and a bit stupid but it's definitely not normal.
Edit: we bought cat litter that had grain in it... Yup he ate that out of his litter box a few times :) :)
