Kumani has pica....

Pica: The Desire To Eat Things That Are Not Food.

I woke up to the sound of Kumani purring next to me but also a weird
sound....bunt, *snap*, chew chew chew, *purrrrr.*

Kumani was plucking lint balls off my blanket, chewing them, and EATING
THEM.

I don't know how long she was doing it before I woke up, but the fact
that these fuzzy lint balls are probably half synthetic means I don't
want her eating any more of them. I saw her eat at least 5 before I
realized what she was doing, got up, and put the blanket away in the
closet.

LOL! Hope she didn't ingest too much of the lint. Miranda chews on the
blankie sometimes, but she doesn't eat it.
