    My cat chews rubber. Any ideas why?
    He's five years old, and we got him from the humane society. He also likes to chew flip-flops

    My one cat chews flip flops. I have to keep them in the top of the closet. She likes the foamy type stuff like that.

    I don't find anything unusual about it. Sometimes that's just how cats are.

    I have met very few cats that didn't like the feel of chewing and scratching flip-flops. It's nothing to be worried about, and the only solution I know is to keep them out of reach.

    Does your cat have any scratching posts? Make sure your cat doesn't swallow anything harmful.
