Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hello Group, I have a question about my female feline. Unlike my male cat, the female is drawn to licking and chewing plastic bags. I'm thinking that this is her way of showing her body is lacking a particular nutrient? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have to keep all the bags up high or she'll go to town with them. Thank You! Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Plastic bags are made from petroleum and for some reason some cats are drawn to them. I have two bag lickers and I just keep them in a place that my kitties can't get to them in. I have also switched to canvas bags but alas sometimes I forget them. I am getting better. My vet said that the plastic bags have a certain smell to them that attracts felines, it is almost like catnip except that it really isn't good for them. purityandbalance wrote: > > > Hello Group, > > I have a question about my female feline.
