I will pass your message on to Belgium, then. Will Simon be detracted from his cravings by something really good smelling to a cat? Just wondered if the craving gets so strong that even that wouldn't help. Now she has a name for the condition and can do some research, too.
Chris and Anne in Belgium will really appreciate your help, too.
Pets for Simon and tell him we are all rooting for him to keep coming back strong,
Anne and Jimi Too Cool, Simms and Sophie in MI

My cats who have had anemia from lymphoma have wanted to lick cement. Simon
currently wants to lick stone and ash. It's a condition called Pica, which
means the craving of non-food items. While anemia can cause it, it can be caused
by other things too, and the cause is often unknown. Human women sometimes
get it when pregnant. I found a lot of information online by doing a google
search for "cat pica."
