I just noticed that my cactus(a spineless variety) has little nibbles all over the top of the cactus pads,we have lots of wild rabbits and jackrabbits around here so Im thinking its one of them.What do u think.

Could also be the little prairie dogs. Mighty hungry at times.

Animals when hungry and thirsty will eat cactus, especially in drought times. Man eats them, so why not animals.

Are you saying that your cat ate the cactus? Not good! Don't want to scare ya, but my cat left this world after eating cacti (hurt her innards).
