As a relatively new cat owner, why the fuck does she like to eat plastic? If she finds something with packing tape on it the little dumbass will literally peel it off and eat it. I don't get it. That can't possibly taste good.

My girl got a piece of plastic stuck between her teeth like floss and started panicking

Found her playing with another piece of the same kind of plastic the next day lmao

It's like I say to my brother, she's a huge pain in the ass at times and her saving grace is that she's absolutely adorable. If she wasn't so cute she'd be out on the streets lmao. She's a talkative little cat and chirps and meows constantly, it's so cute.

Mine constantly picks at the carpet. She'll be 2 cm away from the scratching post that I bought her and still do it. The other cat that I have the instant I put the scratching post down he instantly went over and started using it and doesn't scratch at the carpet at all.

However he takes up the whole bed at night, and pushes me out.

They are both irritating in their individual ways.

I wish I knew the answer to this. I can't leave the thick plastic target-style shopping bags sitting out exposed anywhere my cat can find it otherwise the handles will "mysteriously" turn into Swiss cheese within a day.

I accidentally left out some plastic garbage in my room the other night, and I have insomnia so falling asleep and getting enough sleep is hard for me. I was just about to fall asleep and the cat started chewing on the plastic. I was so mad. She's lucky she's adorable as hell lol.

My cats used to lick the tape.

Some plastic has fish oil in it, or at least that's the explanation I heard.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I wonder what the purpose of that is.

It keeps the fish lubricated
