My 14 year old Burmese is wanting to eat gravel - what does this mean?
Is he lacking minerals or has an upset tummy? very strange..

Many thanks to all - i have visited the breeder who sold me my burmese
cat 14 years ago and lo and behold his mother Kaama (17 years) is still
alive and in very good health. So I am getting another little Burmese
boy when one of Kaama's grandchildren have a litter shortly. Kaama is
long retired and I am tempted to see if I could acquire her as well but
at 17 i see in a short time more tears and sorrows so maybe i won't say
anything.... and not sure how a 17 ex mum would get on with a kitten.
All the cats are in separate cages and a bit grubby for my taste which
upsets me compared to the comparative luxury of my place - but I
suppose that's the way they have to be in a breeding establishment.
