My female Tabby kitten almost 1 year always licks the carpet. Why and what should i do about this to make her stop?
Have you used anything new on the carpet? She may just like the feeling of it on her tongue. I know it sounds pretty funny but its true. Does she lick any particular place? Just investigate, and watch your cat. If it really bothers you, try calling up your vet.
Very strange. Try steam cleaning your carpet and see if that helps. There must be some smell on the carpet which is attracting her.
Well there is something on the carpet apparently. TO make her stop put plastic over the carpet for a while till she/he stops
Anemia, had a cat that licked the screen and cement, put her down had that feline virus , just before I found a homeless kitten in the middle of winter, was going to find him a home but fell in love, tried hard to keep the two apart, now 2 years later this cat licks the carpet on front porch, and just different eating habits, ect, looks anemic, pick nose is white now, cats with feline virus are anemic, 2 days after I got the kitten, went to get the feline shot to protect him, but instead they gave him the normal shots kittens would get, not the feline shot , I was so so mad, I wanted this so he would not catch the virus, the vet said the shot does not protect against the virus anyways, had to put mom and daugther down, the thought of doing this again kills me. Anyways if your cat does not have the virus, it has to be something lacking in the diet. Sad now. Have to get cat tested, on top of that he has a bladder infection, poor thing, cannot take this no more.
The same place on the carpet or just everywhere and anywhere on the carpet? If it is the same spot, something there probably smells yummy, especially if it just started up one day. If the kitten has always done it, this makes answering the question a little tricky. Sometimes cats will lick at something if they have some sort of nutrient or iron deficiency.
