enlightened us with... Sorry, kaeli, I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just finding it ridiculous that people are jumping on this "just because". If the cat isn't eating the plastic and if it's clean and if there's no way he's going to choke on it or be strangled by it, then what is the _actual_ problem? There isn't one. No, there isn't. I thought I clarified that I was generalizing and telling my opinion about how I feel with my own cats and plastic bags, but I guess I didn't. Give me a break, people. Letting a cat play with a knotted up grocery bag is not harmful to the cat. Most of the time, no, it isn't. I hate to make blanket statements that something is safe, because then some doofus might give it to their cat who *does* like to eat it, then the cat gets sick... -- ~kaeli~ All I ask is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

After I empty the bags. I cut the loops before putting them in the garbage. This is in case they get into the garbage (they never have) and get at the bags. The loops could cause strangling. I do the same thing. I cut the loops on paper bags too. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Plastic bags are a bad idea.... Period. Why, exactly? In reading this thread, I haven't seen any specific reason given, other than that the cat might get its head stuck in the bag and suffocate. But if the bag has been tied securely in knots as Laura described . . .? What are the other dangers of plastic bags? I'd like to know. In my case, one of my cats rips out little pieces of the bag and I don't want him ingesting them. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |
