Best Answer

Squirrels eat bark or strip bark from trees to get at the sweet sap underneath. Certain trees hold more attraction for this activity including pine, birch and orchard trees like apple and plum. The high sugar content in early spring provides energy to the animals whom may have had a hard winter.

I don't really think that cats should do it but i think its cause your not givin it the right protein or calcium or anything so that's why its doing that and so you can and if you do feed it right maybe try giving it like a chew mouse or somthing and if any of that is right you should probably see a doctor...........

Because if their teeth keep growing, they won't be able to eat - hence they chew on pine cones so their teeth gets rubbed!

Actually , they chew on them to get to the pine nuts.
