However, cats commonly get a condition called stomatitis which could be the cause. Many cats take antibiotics periodically for the condition and it's best to ask your vet about it.

We always get lady bugs in our house in the fall, but at least none of the animals seem to have any interest in that. <br />But Luke definitely likes to chase and eat grasshoppers, and our beagle Kobi used to as well.
