Well, my 3 1/2 year old cat, Isabelle, like to like tape and pictures. Never
figured that one out yet...

I had a cat lick pictures once. They'll eat/chew on the darndest things
if you let them. I think it is the taste..... something about the
chemicals must be salty tasting or something. It's not like cats are
chewy like dogs or rodents.
My parents still have one cat that will eat/chew ribbon.... we have to
be careful at Christmas. A cat of long ago would eat thread (for
sewing). My mother pulled about a yard out of him one day...... he was
eating it right off the spool and swallowing it!!

the litterbox. It turns out the cat had eaten a long thread, and it was
making its way out. We had to pull it out (slowly, to avoid internal
injuries to the cat and external injuries to us). There was at least a
foot of thread in there.
OK. This is getting very near the "Too Much Information" category....
