Before we got him, I had never heard of a cat that would actually be addicted to eating something like this. And he won't stop either. I can try to get his attention or push him away from it and it's like he doesn't hear me.
He will also get into my plastic bags that I have put up high in the pantry and somehow he gets them down to chew on them. It's frustrating. I try to keep them up but he always seems to find them. They seem to magically appear out of nowhere.
Is this a normal thing with cats? None of my other cats have done this.
From my experience, this quite normal; nevertheless, not healthy. We have two cats in our household. Herman, our older cat has no interest in plastic. Eddie, our younger cat, is obsessed with all things plastic. We, also try to "hide" our plastic bags. Another favorite is the plastic wrap around water bottles. again, we try to keep this out reach. Of course, she is an excellent jumper, which causes us to remain on high alert. I understand this "habit" can be frustrating and takes a lot of patience!
