Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005obsession with plastic bags and boxes
My cat seems to have a great obsession with plastic bags and boxes. She likes to crawl into the bags and boxes and lay there. She likes to roll around and jump around and i dont mind her playing in them when Im not around...but when Im gone I put them up. But she manages to get into the cabinets to play with them. Do all cats do this??? >My cat seems to have a great obsession with plastic bags and boxes. She >likes to crawl into the bags and boxes and lay there.

Do all cats do this??? Mine loves bags and boxes too, but as soon as she manages to figure out any of the cabinets around the house, I'm installing child-locks on them. She already figured out how to open the closet door (which is like a big cabinet door) so now I keep a suitcase in front of it at all times >>My cat seems to have a great obsession with plastic bags and boxes.

She had opened it and had chewed up the toilet paper. How's that for a "welcome home mommy"? >>>My cat seems to have a great obsession with plastic bags and boxes.

How's that for a >"welcome home mommy"? Maybe I should get those child locks for my cabinets before she learns to open them. I buy the big economy size packages of toilet paper. I put child locks on them but my cat is petite, she squeezes through. she can even fit through the bottom of a door, 1 1/2 inches from the ground at most. the vet said its not a bad thing except habit, bc she isnt bruised or hurt from it. Maybe i should just install locks on cabinet doors. LOL. :I put child locks on them but my cat is petite, she squeezes through. she : can even fit through the bottom of a door, 1 1/2 inches from the ground at : most. the vet said its not a bad thing except habit, bc she isnt bruised or : hurt from it. Maybe i should just install locks on cabinet doors. LOL. I don't mind if the cats are in the closet. Cindy even moved her litter into it. It's only bad if you lock the door for days by mistake. They don't really do any harm in there, do they?

That depends on if you hang your clothes in the closet. >Carola > I don't mind if the cats are in the closet.

I don't remember your previous posts (except that Cindy had her kittens), but I'd make sure the only thing on the closet floor was the box (if that's what they're in) with a blanket/whatever in it... you don't want kittens getting lost in there (I'm not kidding). Bit of strong tape over the latch mechanism... though unless you're actually away for days at a time, you'd notice. Litters of kittens have cost me somewhat in clothing (they always pick a favorite shirt) pat > Carola : > I don't mind if the cats are in the closet. Cindy even moved her litter into : > it. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] : : pat Well, I only left them in there for a short while, they would certainly make a mess. But all my cats like to sit on the pile of clothes or in the socks box. Unless they are shedding badly I can't see a problem. But then there are mostly jumpers or clothes that I use for horse riding. Not the nice stuff that's being used for work :-) About the kittens: What worries me is the toilet lid. Apparently if they fall into the water head forward they are dead because they can't help themselves. Someone said this is a mayor cause for deaths of kittens. So there's a big note on the lid at the moment and I sneak after people to check ... Carola > : > I don't mind if the cats are in the closet.

Apparently if they > fall into the water head forward they are dead because they can't help > themselves. :( that never occurred to me... though I'd think that if they're big enough to jump onto the toilet, they're big enough to keep out of the drain. > Someone said this is a mayor cause for deaths of kittens.

Well if they can overcome an enclosure 1 metre high, which they did at three this morning, then they can jump onto the toilet seat too. They then came galloping into my bedroom and jumped on the bed easily. : > Someone said this is a mayor cause for deaths of kittens.

Recently (mostly thanks to reading this NG) it's occurred to me that one of my "girls" might be mostly silent because her throat was injured as a kitten (I had to disentangle her few times from a hockey net); something to check out next vet visit, thanks all. > : > Someone said this is a mayor cause for deaths of kittens.
