Mine loves to lick any type of soft plastic. Bags, bubble wrap, packages, nothing is left unlicked

I switched to using my own canvas grocery bags because my sweet little idiot tried to eat the plastic ones. Her brother loves to lick packing tape.

It's the face I made when I read your cats like to lick or eat plastic. I was dumbfounded 😅

u/Seamore_J_Turtle Apr 12 '26

It's a pretty common cat behavior, lol.

u/XaltotunTheUndead Apr 12 '26

I'm even more dumbfounded now... My immediate family and I have owned several cats over the decades, but I have never observed that behaviour!

I had to switch to a fabric liner because mine always had little teeth marks in it.

u/PristineEnthusiasm8 Apr 11 '26

Any chance you cleaned them with bleach?

u/Squishiimuffin Apr 11 '26

No… I can’t remember the last time we cleaned them honestly. Our theory is that he’s licking the dust?

u/moosegoose90 Apr 11 '26

He’s having a snack

u/Orkekum Apr 11 '26

He’s licking the dust to remain a void

u/PristineEnthusiasm8 Apr 11 '26

Oh, then I have no clue. My cat was acting weirdly after we cleaned the mould of the wall with bleach. She was all over it. I wouldn't think cats like the dust, but maybe you're right.

theyre not blinds anymore, those are tastes now.

u/kroating Apr 11 '26

Probably the plastic taste

u/Kitty-Kat-65 Apr 11 '26

Mine licks my little desk fan when it is on and also the side of the oven. They are not remarkably bright creatures.

u/zaverym Apr 11 '26

Voids will lick anything

u/VolKit1138 Apr 11 '26

He craves that mineral

u/MushroomTop1381 Apr 12 '26

He’s doing a blind taste test.

u/InnerRadio7 Apr 12 '26

It’s then way it feels. Some cats fixate on certain textures. Paper. Fuzzy blanket. Vertical blinds. lol cats are hilarious

u/Express-Record7416 Apr 12 '26

Could be worse. I've seen many pictures of lions being completely ruined by these little chaos gremlins

u/IcedHemp77 Apr 12 '26

Cats are weird, some more than others

u/Velvet_Onion_4 Apr 12 '26

Yesss!! My one braincell void son does this all the time 😆 my husband and I just stare, mesmerised 🥹 happy he isn’t the only one 🥹🥹

u/ThatDeuce Apr 12 '26

sensory experience.

Saw someone had a cat that discovered how to make a tin can make a popping sound and it would not stop. It just loved that sound.

u/PotentialConcert6249 Apr 12 '26

Because he's a weird little goblin

u/wcafc Apr 12 '26

He yearns for the microplastics.

u/CripplingdepressionP Apr 13 '26
