Cardboard snack

Hey,
Does anyone know why my cat LOVES to EAT cardboard? He does just rip it up, he swallows it!
Is there any explaination for this or is he just weird lol

It's hard to tell - he is probably playing thinking it is prey to be consumed after "capture". Or he may have a nutritional deficiancy that may need to be addressed. He should have a vet check up - the cardboard can cause a blockage in his tummy and he shouldn't be eating it.
