Why does my cat lick plastic bags?

One of mine does that and he looks like he's having a tongue orgasm when he's doing it. He's 15 years old and he's done it his whole life so obviously it hasn't hurt him. I don't know if he likes the texture, the sound or if he's trying to taste all the scents on the bag.

Every cat i've ever owned did that. I assume they like the taste cause they is really nothing they can get from it (think of it this way, your food is put in it) but if they eat it now, it's different cause it could clog up thier guts.

Haha my cat does that too! Its really weird. I dont exactly know why, but I think they like the texture, and how it crinkles under their tongue. Its not harmful, but if they start actually chewing and swallowing it, thats bad, because that will make them sick. I think he's fine though.

Mine does the same thing...im glad shes not the only one! I am always concerned if there is some kind of chemical or something i should be worried about... but she has always done it.

Some bags are made with animal fats. That's right... animal fats! They smell it, and want to lick it.

Me… kittyslave23… I know my place.
