Default Why Does Buddha Eat Cobwebs?

I realize that this says something about my housekeeping, but I catch her at
this in my office all the time. I recall reading that spiderwebs were used
in healing by Native Americans at some point. I've never had a cat that does
this, anyone else?

My cats try to get mine on the ceiling. They move around, almost like
bugs.. so of course the cats want them :P

Buddha goes after them under cabinets and such, and she wants them so much
she actually scoops them out with her paws. It isn't movement, or like play,
it's like foraging. She's a weird girl.

I recall somewhere in the long past that spider webs helped the blood
to clot when placed on wounds.

This makes sense, since spiders wrap their bugs in them when they store them
for eating later. Also, Cobs are spiders, it is an old English term I think.
But why does Buddha eat them? She gets wet food twice a day and dry, too.
Today she came up to Cheeky's food room, and I looked over and Cheeks was
eating her food and Boo was scooping out cobwebs from under the Etagierre.
