Joe-

My brother's Siamese cat used to eat the Persian rug, towels, wool sweaters,
socks.  You name it--he ate it.  The solution was to start feeding him
Brewer's Yeast!!!  He then became addicted to the Brewer's Yeast
and craved that for years, but he stopped eating the rug.  Everything
else they were able to put away out of his reach (makes you a really
neat housekeeper!!)  I've heard various reasons for this need--
I think there was something about needing the lanolin that is in wool.
But I don't really know why...I just know what worked for them.

Good Luck
