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

Plastic breeds bacteria easier than steel and doesn't sanitize as well. Yes, plastic is very dangerous. Deadly, even. This is why the following items are never made from plastic: - Cutlery - Cups - Babies' bottles - Plates - Food wrap - Cat litter trays - Chopping boards - Drinks containers - Foos storage containers If any of these items were made from plastic, the population would be dropping like flies, little fake plastic flies. Plastic bags can have all manner of bacteria and germs on them from the store from the raw meats, insecticides and poisons from the vegetables, and toxic cleaning solutions and even rat poison from sitting in the back room. If the store has an insect or pest problem, they may also have droppings on them - sometimes from diseased pests. Yes, yes - also, a passing mass-murder inclined paranoid-cat-hating schizoid biochemist might soak the bags in Dead-Cat Killer Horror Fluid. Plastic bags are the number 1 cause of cat deaths in the western world; it's also true that humans are dying everyday from eating items that were held within plastic shopping bags. Plastic-bag related deaths led to the downfall of the Roman Empire. Plastic bags are strictly licensed in most US states, and you need a special bag-license and bag-bio barrier before you can use these dastardly things. Don't Go Plastic! Steve.

Well, our box-lover is 12 and half pounds, but it still seems that the
smaller the box, the more she wants to try to squeeze into it, and then she sits in it purring with her pudge hanging out over the sides. I used to have another cat like that--the shoebox was only fun if it was almost too snug to squeeze into. Wonder why. Our slim cats, btw, don't much care about shoeboxes. Oh, gee, so other people's cats do this too. The smaller the box, the harder Frank tries to get into it. He can cram himself into anything, ignoring the parts that hang out, and go to sleep. I've posted this before, but it's a classic example, and slept in this box for days. http://www.members.aol.com/sriddles/bonsaifrank.jpg
