I have never owned a cat, that DOESN'T love playing with plastic bags. It's not just playing though, they seem to lick them, roll around in them like they're filled with catnip or something, and I've seen them chewing on them. I had one cat that stuck his head through the handles, and ran about like a nutter, wearing it like a cape. The same cat would pull them all out of my cupboard, and make piles on the floor, to run about and skate on.

I have come downstairs and found a sleeping cat, nestled amongst a massive plastic carrier bag fort.

I cannot be the only person who's seen this, please tell me someone else knows what I'm talking about?

My cat does the same thing...actually doing it now as I type. She loves to naw on the bag, lay on them like a blanket and play around with them. She likes to jump into the bags like a person jumps into a pile of leaves in the fall. I don't know what it is either about cats and plastic bags, but I'm sure to keep an eye on her so she doesn't injest any plastic. It'a ironic, you spend money on toys and they end up playing with your leftover grocery bags. Go figure!

Yeah I don't want my little fuzzball to actually EAT any of it, but even the smallest bit of plastic on something, and he is all over it. I have given up on buying cat toys for him to play with, he just doesn't take any notice. His favourite toy ever, was an empty cotton reel, followed by an odd sock I stuffed with fresh catnip. He also has a thing for the seals you get on plastic milk cartons, and if I'm ever trying to tie shoelaces, it takes me extra time due to the fact that he tries to 'help'.

And plastic coathangers. He manages to drag them off. I found one in his cat litter tray once.

Funnily enough, my cats are both terrified of plastic bags, we think it's because of the loud rustling noise they make.
It's so funny to watch one of them slowly creep up to a plastic bag, bat it with their paw, and then bolt! After a few minutes, the same cat will come stalking back up to the bag to give it another bat.
It is the cutest thing in the world to watch

It's actually one of the reasons I always put away the bags immediately. It makes me so nervous that they might get stuck in one and then suffocate. *shudders* I guess that goes back to keeping them away from babies for the same reason, so I just avoid letting them near them.

The reason why cats love plastic bags as they have hints of fish oil through them and the sound of them i have four cats and they all love there bags but i keep an eye on them in case things get out of hand.

the main reasons why cats love plastic bags is the hint of fish oil through the bags and the sound of them, i have four cats and they love playing with their bags its okay to let them nibble and play as long as they are supervised its fine.

sorry about the extra post thought i never clicked post on the other

Because of the dangers of plastic bags, I am thankful that my cats are much more fond of paper bags. Anytime we go to the local grocery store and come back with a big paper bag, my two cats start a competition on who gets to lay inside the bag first.

Fish oil? Is there fish oil used in the production of making plastic bags? Or were you referring to something that might be in the bags that you got at the store?

Fish oil is used in the production of plastics bags but i'm not to sure why this is just one of those facts that you know for no reason.

My cat is not fond of bags, but she loves boxes. If you get any type of box and just set it on the floor, she will try to get in. I put a cushion in a cardboard box I have and she sits there and naps.

All of our cats are fond of both boxes and bags. The kitten has started taking to nibbling on bags, so we've had to start putting plastic ones away. But we do have those bag for life bags that she runs in, jumps around inside then runs back out.

With boxes and the older two cats it's quite fun to watch. If you get a new box in the house, put it down you will see them both pretend not to be interested. But then slowly come around to wanting to be in the box. Then they start this whole "Who will get in the box first" thing.

I've always heard that the reason cats love plastic bags is because, during production, the plastic is somehow processed with corn by products.

This makes sense, because so many products now, such as fuels, include corn.

Cats and dogs can pick up the sweetness of the corn scent, and for some reason it really gets them going!
