cats lick themselves because that is how they bath themself. even know they bath themself doesn't mean you shouldn't give them baths. we give my four cats real baths like once every four months. and we have this foam stuff that you put on your hands rub it in and rub it on your cat(s) then you brush them and you are finished. we do that like once in every one or two weeks.

I believe they just enjoy the smooth feel and crinkly sound of the bags. NO, Most plastic nowdays is made with corn starch to make it biodegradeable, and surprisingly, many cats have a taste for corn. Under no circumstances should you let her eat the plastic. It can become impacted in the intestines and cause a potentially fatal blokage.

They seem to love the material and the sound that it makes. My cats LOVE plastic bags because they can tear it, but it won't tear easily like paper, and it makes that high pitched but very soft brushing sound.

Well, cats don't usually lick plastic bags, but they do rub their heads or bodies against them... Some cats might lick a bag to see whats in it or what it feels like on their tounges, Cats can have many reasons for this... Its probaly because its the brightness or darkness that attracts the cat to the bag.

Hope this, gave you some information.

Well cats shouldn't eat elastic as it can get lodged somewhere in their throat or give them a bad stomach ache, It would think its a worm or decent food, if its eating elastic get it of the cat and hide it somewhere. Cats will play with stringy stuff so perhaps you should give it some wool to play with instead or feed it actual cat food.

It is my observation that the plastic which Cats lick the most is recycled plastic. The recycling process shich produces most of the "plastic shopping bags" and food container bags (which cats seem to like best) uses Soy Bean products. I beileve that cats can smell and/or taste these Soy Beans products, and that is what they are licking. So far there is no way to confirm that this is the truth, however, I am a Veterinarian, and have been checking the bags and other plastics that my cats lick, and have asked several of my clients to check as well. So far the only plastics which any cats I know of spend alot of time licking are recycled.

It sometimes depends on the cat. Some are alert and if they think danger is within that plastic think that makes noise, it will stay afraid. Although, I have a cat who loves to sleep on them and play with them. I guess the noise scares the poor creatures!

Generally a cat will attack plastic bags because they rustle intriguingly and make sounds similar to escaping prey. If your cat is trying to eat plastic bags, it is likely that she has gotten a bit confused by the sounds or has simply carried the play a bit too far. Do not allow your cat to actually eat plastic bags; they will cause intestinal blockage, which can be life-threatening; if your cat starts trying to eat the bag which she has caught, take it away from her.
