Cat with plastic fetish!!

[patricia53]

I have 2 9year old British Blue male cats. One of them is obsessed with plastic bags etc. He will chew anything he comes across. The other one doesn't bother.
Also every time he gets into the bathroom he will lick the bath - inside or out and the shower curtain!!
Has he got some sort of nutritional defficiency? When he goes for his boosters we always forget to mention it.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks

HIya...i dont think your cat is alone in his fetish for plastic... mine is too....he loves plastic bags ie. the noise they make...i just have to rattle one or shake it out and he runs round like a mad thing lol. He loves tearing at them as well. This morning he started to chew a pair of plastic gloves i have for dyeing hair etc, My cat also is intrigued by the shower curtain and plays hide and seek behind it....

Oh what weird and wonderful creatures they are....i dont think you should be worried at all....your cat sounds as if he has a very playful and unique personality!!

Hi, Thanks for that - glad he's not the only one!! I wouldn't be without them!! Every life should have nine cats!!! Don't you think!

Patricia. I agree, every life should definitely have nine cats. I only have three, but would love to have nine. Your two sound lovely, and really characters. Cats are pretty special aren't they. Schutz.

Hi Schutz, Yes they are special. Mine are called Buster (the one with the plastic fetish) and Gizmo (very aptly named) - he sets up Buster and the dog to get into trouble for the naughty things he does!!
For example he opened kitchen cupboard doors and knocked things out for the others to play with! It got so frequent that we had to put child locks on the one with the cleaning stuff in it as we could see ourselves going to the vets with one or other of them!!!
He looks so innocent though!!
