Are cats supposed to lick photographs?

[Snipes]

One of my cats is like magnetically attracted to photographs. Left alone she will lick it until the picture has been scraped clean. She seems to love especially the photos i print with my printer, but anything that is glossy is likable to her. Is this unusual?

They're not "supposed to" but

Cats are weird like that. When I was little, we had one that used to lick the rugs Go figure

Nice pics. I have two black kitties myself

Are cats supposed to lick photographs? Probably not.

Is this unusual? A bit.

I'd imagine that the chemicals in photographs aren't the best thing for her to eat, but she'd probably have to eat more than what's in a couple of photos to make her ill (I'd hope, anyway).

I've heard of cats with a fondness for eating adhesives and chewing on strange things...I guess cats just have a kind of oral fixation.

i wouldn't have thought it would do her much good

i think there's silver nitrate in photographs, i think thats pretty bad if you eat it
