Sometimes they will try to crawl inside of it, and also my cats that
lick plastic often start to chew it... I worry more about choking. K.

I have several cats that do it too, I just keep plastic bags out of their reach. They only have brief access to them when I'm unloading and putting away groceries. Oh, they also like to pee on them. ;-) One more good reason to keep them picked up! K. yes one of mine does it, if she gets the chance..... we have to be very careful not to leave any around. She never chews black sack tho!

My Oscar and Jessie just lick, but Felix chews.. Sometimes I find little cat
teeth marks in the strangest places that happen to have plastic covers etc. I did have another cat who used to chew his way through plastic coverings to get to the food/cake inside... I learned to put everything away before bed from him!!!

My Oscar has been doing it his entire nine years, and it has never harmed him. He never eats it, though, just chews on it. Laura -- I am Dyslexia of Borg, Your ass will be laminated. |

Anyone else have a cat like this? Also, does anyone think this is dangerous in any way? Judy F Keep the plastic bags out of reach. I wash a plastic shopping bag and tie it up into a big knot for Oscar. If I don't give him something, he chews any plastic he can find- the garbage bag hanging over the lip of the can, the toilet paper wrapping, anything he can find. Since he doesn't eat it and since he can't get wrapped up in a washed knotted bag, I think it's the lesser of the evils. Laura You have been very lucky. Generally, it isn't a great idea to let small children or pets play with plastic bags unsupervised. Some cats take a fancy to urinating on plastic bags for some reason. -- "Its the bugs that keep it running." -Joe Canuck |
