    The regular kind, he just ate it, as much as he could before I managed to drag him away from it.
    It was kind of worrying to be honest.

      I mean yeah that is worrying… you as either a person or cat should probably not eat jellified petroleum, yeah.

      But… wtf?

      Maybe he’s just… hungry?

      A very odd cat?

      Like I’m trying to look this up, and I’m basicslly seeing this fall into the category of pica, which is essentially a mental disorder that can be triggered by a number of things…

      Maybe take kitty to the vet for a checkup?

        He had a thyroid problem and never managed to gain a lot of weight. Still, he grew to be quite old.
        He’s been gone for over ten years now, but I still miss him.

        Cats don’t have opposable digits. Saving that jelly for later when ya aren’t looking. Or maybe when you are.
