I give my kids a spoonful of Vaseline everyday to keep them greased up.

    My old cat was crazy about Vaseline, I had to fight him off whenever I opened the jar.
    I’ve never seen him that enthusiastic about anything else. He was like some kind of Vaseline junky.

    ... Was it ... regular... or menthol?

    Did he... eat it? ... or just ... huff it?

    The regular kind, he just ate it, as much as he could before I managed to drag him away from it.
    It was kind of worrying to be honest.

    I mean yeah that is worrying... you as either a person or cat should probably not eat jellified petroleum, yeah.

    But... wtf?

    Maybe he's just... hungry?

    A very odd cat?

    Like I'm trying to look this up, and I'm basicslly seeing this fall into the category of pica, which is essentially a mental disorder that can be triggered by a number of things...

    Maybe take kitty to the vet for a checkup?

    I hope they've grown a bit because you should only be feeding babies baby oil.

    Only after they've had their baby powder for breakfast.

    they swallow it, or the hard way?

    Robert Chesebrough, the inventor of Vaseline, famously claimed to eat a spoonful every day and lived to be 96.
