Strange Cat Behaviour

My Eclipse likes to chew on plastic wrapper things.. like the plastic that is ripped off a jar to seal it, or plastic bags that some foods come in, like my bag of sugar and sometimes bags of cereal. I have noticed before that they do make cat toys out of crinkly paper type stuff.. so I guess it just feels good to a cat to chew on that sort of thing.

I don't have cats but my daughter has one that eats everything. She can't have house plants of any kind because the cat eats them. Plastic containers, paper sacks and anything else left lying around are on the menu. I'm sure that cat would eat the onion sack, too.

I have a cat, Willy, who chews plastic. It doesn't have to be strands alone, but he is an avid plastic chewer. I think that it may be a stress reliever and it also could be that he is cleaning his teeth, gums, and tongue. It could also be that he is flossing his teeth? I try not to leave plastic strings or any plastic that could be swallowed laying around...because with chewing sometimes there is swallowing. My folks had a dog that loved eating wool. I had spent a year knitting myself a pair of slippers and got to wear them once. I had worn them the evening I finished them and carefully took them off and set them on the chair in the bedroom. The next morning I got up and one was missing. I searched the bedroom and the house trying to find it...with no luck. My parents didn't help matters when they chewed me out and told me I had to be careful with things. A couple days later my father came in and made the statement "I know what happened to your slipper". He took us outside into the back yard and pointed out the clue that led to the answer. There was a pile of dog poop and in the poop was bright pink strands of...YARN! I actually got to chew out my parents that time around, ending with the statement that I had carefully put the slippers on the chair in my bedroom and they were NOT casually thrown on the floor. Keep a close eye on your cat and the duvet. He could be in serious trouble if he eats the plastic strands because even if they are soft, they can cut into his intestines and also create blockages in the intestines. But on the bright side, at least your house isn't falling down around you!

It is my first time I hear a cat chews on plastic strands. Cat is not rodent ,such as rat and rabbit ,which likes to gnaw something.I lose count of how many times I saw a cat clawing someting instead.I guessed the cat was perfecting its skill of catching rats.

I don't have a chew story.. but my cat likes to do this.. lol.. (see picture)

Every living things has its own behavioral attitude even human. Our friends sometimes you are puzzled by is attitude and habits. Just like me when I was young I used to chew match stick it is true but as I grew up I refrain from doing it further. I don't even remember the day I stop chewing match stick. The habits of your cat, will just stop in no time, but you don't know when.

He could very well be cleaning his teeth, or he just likes to keep you guessing.

My cats like to chew on plastic bags. I think they have a plastic deficiency...

It's not as strange as you believe. My tomcat likes to chew on things. Particularly the rubber handle of his grooming brushes and the straw in my straw broom. He'll chew on grass for a few moments any time that he can manage to escape out of the door.

I find my cats, and even rabbit do this when they are bored. They also can be cleaning their teeth or chewing. They need to wear down their teeth as well.
