Seems my boy has a fetish for plastic bags. He loves the Glad garbage bags and the thicker the plastic the better for him.
Is this common? He just loves to rub his face in plastic. He doesn't chew it but will spend a lot of time rubbing plastic bags each day.
I have one on a table with a toy for my niece in it and the first thing he does every morning is jump up to the bag. He doesn't care
about the stuffed animal in the bag. He visits "his bag" many times a day. I now keep it out for him since he loves it so much.

Welcome to the plastic bag fetish! My Raiden LOVES plastic bags. Like yours, he just likes to lick them. And some bags he likes better than others. He is not into the garbage bags, but he loves the grocery store plastic bags. I'll let him play with one for a few minutes and he's happy and walks away. He will cry and cry until I let him have one. It seems to be a common behavior with a lot of cats. As long as you watch and make sure the bag is not chewed up or consumed, you're fine. The crazy thing about Raiden is if I leave a store receipt around, he will chew it to shreds. He doesn't eat it, but he pulls it all apart piece by piece and leaves it in a pile in front of him.

Hi Sherry,
He's my first cat so this plastic thing is new to me. I always think Alfie is such a weirdo.
I still do. I love that little weirdo so much though.

I used to have a cat with a plastic fetish. To be honest, I tried desperately to discourage it. Not only am I terrified of a cat getting into a plastic bag (because of suffocation risk) but also it's obviously horrible to be ingesting plastic for any number of reasons.

My boy loves plastic bags too but like brianj12 I try to keep him away (unless supervised) as I am worried about him suffocating or getting stuck in the handles. Fortunately he loves paper bags too so I cut the handles on them and leave them for him to play with :-)

I'll be keeping a closer eye on him around the plastic bags.

ah yes - the plastic shopping bag obsession - I'm always hauling mine out of them. I give them paper bags to play with instead - they love Primark bags.

Talking of fetishes, for some reason my two go mental over leather shoes - the nicer the leather the better - they shove their heads right into the shoe toe area and roll around in delight!
