A couple of weeks ago, Selena noticed that something just wasn't right with our second largest cat. He seemed lethargic and lost a whole bunch of weight. If you know Mitsubeeshee, you know he has some bulk to him so this was not normal. Selena took him to the vet. The vet took a look at him and Selena noticed the vet was quite concerned and was very worried about Beeshee's weigh loss. Uh oh. So he put him on a couple of pills and told us to make sure he was eating. So every day for a week he was allowed upstairs while he took his medicine. He seemed to be enjoying himself in his new surroundings. 
We heard back from the vet on his blood tests and everything was normal. Very, very strange. The pills seemed to be making him better and he was eating. Less than usual but eating. So if everything is normal - what is going on?
Selena is very observant. A skill she learned from all those hours watching Columbo! Anyway, she saw Beeshee chewing an exposed area of the cat tree and eating it like grass.
She figured that he was eating this because there was some strips that looked like grass. Yellow, plastic grass but grass all the same. We sometimes let him out in the yard and he loves to eat the grass so we can see why he did it. This plastic was making him sick. The Curious Case of Mitsubeeshee was solved. He is much better now and we are making sure he stays clear of the yellow "grass".
