cats and soap

[lakeland27]

Today i noticed one of the cats eats soap. not content with soap he eats toothpaste as well..   i haven't had a cat do this before , is it unusual ?

[*crikey*mate*]

would be interesting when he passes wind through that "ring of confidence"

Hope it's not a fluoride paste 😕

thats something i hadn't considered crikey, i'm not sure i want to. do you have a cat and does it eat soap ?

 How does he unscrew the toothpaste cap?

Borises Dr (vet), who is brilliant , told me that toothpaste is poisonous for dogs, don't know about cats though.

i used to clean my dogs teeth using toothpaste, instead of gurgling he would swallow it, lol, he loved the taste

A cat that eats soap would have very clean insides and leave no stains if and when it did as Crikey suggested.

Were you thinking soap bubbles?

A cat of my earlier acquaintance ate smoked salmon for preference, it would have been appreciated if she had then taken a liking to toothpaste.




But


Probably best to wean a cat off the soap and toothpaste.
