Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My girlfriend's cat has the same issue. Mother died and the litter was found a day or so later. Now he eats literally everything (I believe it's called pica) and has no self regulation.
Pica is the desire to eat non-food stuffs. Rocks, glass, ash etc. So if your "literally" was used correctly then it's possible pica. In people it can mean a mineral deficit which causes the abnormal cravings, so maybe check that he's not short something mineral wise.
He eats hair bands, plastic and other stuff so yeah. My girlfriend has brought him in for many checkups and they haven't found anything wrong. I'll bring this up as well to be sure! Thanks.
My cat used to eat any amount of garbage bag that hung over the edge of my garbage can. Got her on a mineral supplement, that issue went away relatively quickly. It’s cheap too - I think the supplement I got was $15 or so. Been giving her some every day for six months or so and I still have a third of a can left.
