By weird I mean outside of regular cat diet, things like cornflakes, ketchup or banana bread (these are real examples from my and my friends' cats).

One of my cats has what I call social pica. She is always trying to get me to eat paper with her.

What methods of persuasion does she use?

She leads me to her pile of paper scraps and starts munching and absolutely loves it if I take part eat paper with her. I only let her eat a tiny bit tho, it's not healthy.

Mine does this too, she will tear up pieces of paper on the floor and leave a mess. I've wondered if it's something to be concerned about

Very important papers. Try spending time with her and her pile, it might make her so happy
