Is this safe?

I wrote before about mt cat Scat's fetish with all things toilet related. Well my hubby has started to give Scat a clean Cottonell wipe to play with. Scat just carries it around the house in his mouth and stops every now and then to lick it. Is this safe?

Plus why is Scat so rude to our other cat Mrs. Grumbles when she tries to groom him? He bats at her until they get into a fight. They play together so they're not enemies. What's the deal?

I'm not sure how safe those wipes are...I wouldn't let him play with that just to be on the safe side. Some cats just don't like to be groomed by other cats, I would say that as long as he's not hurting Mrs. Grumbles when they get into it, just let them be...grooming is a sign of dominance, she is probably trying to establish it and let him know by grooming him.

Can you find a washcloth or some thin material that he may like?

Well I thought maybe he'd enjoy a damp paper towel, but he didn't go for it. he just isn't normal.

About the grooming, I thought it was a social thing. I didn't know it had something to do with dominance. Does that mean when they groom me their trying to dominate me (lol)?
