Okay i have a three legged no tailed cat called trio, she is nearly 5yrs old. We have recently moved and though she has settled in fine and loves exploring the garden she has a habit of chewing on bamboo leaves. Does anybody know if this is going to do her damage? i've never heard of bamboo leaves being a problem with anything else but i just want to know for safety's sake! thanks everyone... great answers and great links to sites. The dumb animal called trio appreciates it too i'm sure at the minute she is doing breakdancing spins on the floor after my shadow, annoyed because i wont let her out after dark.... and also she isnt liking the good 'ol british weather at the mo. Thanks to thumbs up who will be recieving best answer.
