Re: My cat is eating charcoal
Do you mean he dips his paw in the water dish before then drinking from said water dish? If so, cats do that to break the surface tension of the water and cause it to circulate, thus getting the fresher stuff at the bottom. (or at least mixing fresher stuff with the stuff at the top.)

Re: My cat is eating charcoal
Hokay. All we use to light the fire is paper, cardboard, wood and matches. So no, I don't have to worry about chemicals or anything like that. He's getting it from in front of the fire, where stuff from the fireplace tends to fall out. I haven't noticed him doing it yet today, but if he does it tonight I'll call the vet tomorrow to ask whether I should worry. Strangely, he doesn't actually seem to like it, or at least not the taste or texture, cuz he keeps doing the "thmbleah bleagh thmeck thblugh" tongue thingy after chomping a bit. The only "naughty" thing he's been doing lately is pooping in the woodbox, but I can understand that cuz the floor of it's full of stuff and I think his litter box might not have enough litter for his taste. We had a dog here this weekend, but he didn't do anything really unusual then and only started eating charcoal after she left.
Speaking of weird cat things, this one is also obsessed with drinking the icky green water in a vege crisper outside (it's outside cuz I haven't gotten around to cleaning it. The water is mostly rainwater, and I think most of the green is algae that's grown in it later rather than, say, mould). He's been dipping his paw into it while he drinks, too. I hope he's not trying to mix it upThe Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!

Re: My cat is eating charcoal
As good as I am at drawing with charcoal, it's the stuff from the fireplace that he was eating.

Re: My cat is eating charcoal
I saw this thread here for the second day and I found myself asking "still? Isn't it full yet?"
Here is a, not particularly groundbreaking, cartoon about a cat that wants to eat ash in the shape of a fish. Does the charcoal perhaps resemble a fish? Or drew a fish with the charcoal?Mannerism RPG An RPG in which your descriptions resolve your actions and sculpts your growth.

Re: My cat is eating charcoal
My brother has a D&D character who has a cat named Cat, and to my knowledge it has not been eating charcoal. though if it gave +10 fire resistance i'd start feeding it to him.

Re: My cat is eating charcoal
My cat just had surgery to remove intestinal blockage. The vet removed a piece of coal she probably got from the BBQ grill. Reading this forum, I am guessing she had eaten something spoiled from a recent heatwave and tried to cure herself. Please wish her well.
