Cats like too chew on a whole lot of things. My cat Buzz likes too chew up paper and it would sound really weird if I said that my cat ate my homework.

I am not sure why the cats chew on the things. But I know they like is you ball up paper and throw it for them. Maybe he just wants to play. But you don't want them to eat it because they can get bond up. If you know what I mean.

Haha, he or she probably senses that the photos and envelopes are important. My cat Meg used to sit on my homework while I was working on it, and she'd sit on my mom's book if she left the room for a moment.

they really just like to massage there gums, and cardboard is there favorite, so that's why they usually sink there teeth into photos, envelopes, mostly stuff made out of paper. Try placing a piece of cardboard in front of him or her, they will love it.

I had a Siamese cat who loved to chew on photographs. I am assuming they have a distinctive smell which attracted her to them. We learned quickly not to leave any photos out unattended or they would soon be perforated.

He might have a small case of anxiety which all cats get once and a while. You should set aside a hour or two during the day to play with your kitty and let it release that excess energy. This might stop the chewing on your belongings.

Well I dont know about envelopes, but pictures I can help with. My cat Sassy is 14 years old and has been a picture Alic for years. She licks and scratches off the glossy finish of the photos. WHY well because the finish is made of gelatin products which taste good to certain cats. Just make sure you put them away there is n way to break the habit
