Thumper is obsessed with eating fibres freshly plucked off my clothing. She usually does her harvesting during a breastfeed or just when I am carrying her from here to there. My blue alpaca wool cardigan is her favourite, but any jumper or cardie with fibres that can be easily extracted will do.
When my clothing isn't available, any dust bunny foolish enough to be lurking in her reach will do. Once she has finished sampling the detritus off the floor, she crawls over to me, plonks down on her nappy-padded bottom and looks at me as her chubby fingers repeatedly go to her mouth in a futile attempt to extract the hair or other fluff that has got stuck in her mouth.
It's really quite disgusting... seems like she might be well-suited to a career as a forensic pathologist.
