I rack up $1000 vet bills because I eat everything including hair ties and packing tape! I have no sympathy for my broke, college-aged human who rescued me from the pound! – Milo

I think your broke college aged human is wonderful!
We had a cat like that and it seemed to be a vitamin deficiency. We switched her to a higher quality food like Science Diet and the eating of weird stuff mostly went away.
I feel your mom’s pain, kiddo! I have one like that too and it’s cost me a lot of money I did not have over the years… learned the hard way that if I look at something and think “no, he wouldn’t eat that, would he??” it means I have to pick it up and hide it FAST — because yes, they always will. eat. the. craziest. stuff.
I have a cat like that and am a completely broke graduate student, I have just had to learn to look at everything and think…”will he eat it?” “yes? then don’t buy it or keep it in a closet” “no? are you sure?..for sure, sure?… okay, then buy it”….. and tape is a big one for us too so I have to rip all the tape off any packages we get soon as they enter the house and put it in the bottom of the trash.
Looks exactly like one of my sister’s cats, the one who DOESN’T eat things. The one who does – also a long-haired cat, curiously – cannot resist anything fleecy, wooly, or yarny. He has eaten large sections of microfleece blankets. I believe cat and dogs especially like to sniff, eat, pee/poop on petroleum-based products (synthetic fabrics, plastics, anything finished with urethane) because they grab odors and hold onto them forever. It must be totally captivating for them!

I’m sure your human loves you to bits, nonetheless!!
Are you thinking of eating that sign, by the way?? 😛 😀
Shawn
I agree with Trixie! Most people that could afford it, don’t! Hope you are going to vet school!!

Does Milo happen to have a savings account that accepts donations?

Well, at least you’ll have had a mighty tidy apartment / house while living with this cat – forced tidyness FTW!

Maybe pet insurance would be helpful for this hungry guy!

That dog has a cute litter nose, but needs a haircut.
