Licking Non-Food Items
Cats sometimes lick non-food items like plastic, fabric, or even walls. This behavior, known as pica, can stem from a nutritional deficiency, boredom, or even stress. Some cats develop this habit as a way to soothe themselves, while others might do it out of curiosity. If your cat’s licking becomes excessive or focuses on potentially harmful objects, it’s important to redirect their attention and consider speaking to a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

Ignoring Toys
When a cat ignores toys, it could be a sign of boredom or disinterest in their current selection. Cats can be picky about their playthings, and what excites them one day might not catch their interest the next. Rotating toys or introducing new types of play, such as interactive or puzzle toys, can help reignite their enthusiasm. It’s important to ensure your cat gets regular mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom, which can lead to other behavioral issues.
