my cat eats plastic?
It's amazing after reading this newsgroup for a few weeks how much knowledge
is out there when odd situations arise. I dont know if anyone has had this happen before, but my cat Gabe loves to eat plastic. Not all kinds of plastic, but he is extremely partial to plastic grocery bag handles, or stray pieces of a ripped open bag that sticks out or that fell on the floor. Its as though his kitty cat nose sniffs out plastic within his range and he zooms over to it. He knows he's not supposed to eat it (ie, I hear rustling and walk into the room and he runs away from the bag, looking innocent, or stays there trying to swallow the piece he just ripped off) but he still does it anyway. And its not just chewing, he actually eats it; I will pry it out of his mouth if I catch him at it. Sometimes he throws it up, sometimes it just goes though his system... anyone know what gives? This seems extremely unusual! I just accepted it as part of him, but I thought maybe someone had some knowledge on the subject... |
