the road to hell is paved with paper...

So it turns out that our Tugger has a thing for eating paper! I’ve never met a feline with such a craving before. I’ve known cats who like to play with paper and even some who like to sleep in paper, but never one to eat paper!

And apparently he’s not very particular about what kind of paper either. It could be a paper bag, a receipt, a bookmark, tissue paper, bus tickets, our grocery list, our visa bill, toilet paper…you name it, he’s got a hankering for it!

At first, we just considered it one of those cute little quirky attributes that only a cat could possess but as of this morning, he’s taken his paper fetish to a whole new, and rather questionable, level…

This morning, we woke up to a rather well chewed up Bible!! Our beautiful, hardcover Bible generally sits on the floor next to my side of the bed and even though it’s been there ever since Tugger joined our family, up until last night, it apparently didn’t satisfy any of his cravings. It seems though that he has tired himself of his usual paper snacks and has decided to move on to bigger and better things!

I’m a little bit concerned now though about Tugger’s well-being come the day when he decides to make an appearance at the pearly gates of kitty heaven; I mean, I know that the Old Testament can be a bit of a drag sometimes but I really don’t think that God’s going to be impressed knowing that half the book of Exodus is digesting in his tummy!

Really, Tugger…regardless of how adorable we think you are...we've got to draw the line somewhere!!!

LOL thats too funny! Maybe this was kittys way of saying he wanted to be saved! Kitty's digesting the Old testament better than some of us!

Revelation 10:9
"So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

Cat-elation 1:1
"So the kitty went to the bedside without asking he took the 'scroll' and ate it. It turned his stomach sour but in kitty's mouth it was sweet as catnip."
