Why do cats do this?

I feel so much less cheap. [I love that sentence.]

My cat climbs into paper bags and cardboard boxes, and eats menthol cigarettes. She has no interest in non-menthol.

You should be careful with those cigarettes. A few ingested cigarettes is probably enough to kill an animal the size of a cat. Nicotine is poison.

Like any smoker is going to let the cat eat enough of the cigarettes.

Actually, she never ate enough to make herself sick; I only noticed because I kept finding cigarettes with tiny little fangs marks in them. She’d even get them out of the pack some how.

To re-assure you, though, I have switched to non menthol in boxes.

But now I wonder, is the plastic bag bad for the cat?

I can just see the cat telling his buddies about the cigs.
“Hey guys I found this stuff that is so way better than that catnip crap they push on us!”

Those weren’t the tobacco cigarettes!

Haha. Damn- for a minute I thought you were talking about your sisters, not your sister’s cat. This is why apostrophes are important. :slight_smile:

Don’t be silly; the dogs go after those.

Ok, then…riddle me this: why does my cat have a fetish for *peeing *on plastic bags? In fact any large-ish sheet of smooth plastic will do- the bottom of my gym bag, the cover to one of those large plastic storag bins. and of course, our counter top.

Anyone want a cat?

You people have strange cats.

Mine just likes to bat the bags around… not lick them or pee on them.

Your quoting of “plastic” made me wonder, though… maybe it’s just your local grocer’s bags?

Yeah, I saw that as soon as I sent it. I clicked on the edit button but it just says "You do not have permission to access this page. " See, I wanted to fix it :slight_smile: Seriously though. This cat gets up on the window sill behind the tree and bites the bulbs. I guess he cut his tongue once because they found blood on the sill, but he keeps doing it year after year.
