Here's a slight variation on the usual cloth-eater story--I have a paper ea=
ter in my 9 month old Pan. He doesn't eat entire sheets of paper or cardbo=
ard, but does chew corners and edges and appears to ingest what he chews. =
I'm a) trying to keep all paper out of reach, although that isn't s=3Do=3D2=

=3D20bed and b) giving extra hairball rememdy whenever I find chewed paper,=
though I have yet to see identifiable paper in the litter. Luckily he does=
n't chew newspaper, since that's what they use for litter, but he chews=3D=3D=

stuff Seti puts under the bed. For some reason he leaves magazines alone,=3D=

anyon=3De=3D20ever encountered serious problems from chewing paper? I'm a b=
