Grocery bag fun
Trouble kitty loves those plastic grocery bags. She has played in
them since she was 5 weeks old. Always supervised. Her favorite thing was to dive through the handle hole and surprise the big cats. Alas, she has discovered she is too big to do this anymore, even though she still tries sometimes. She gets her head, neck, and front legs through just fine. It's her middle that hangs everything up. Last time she dove through a handle, she panicked and tried to just run out of the hole. The bag just followed her everywhere, puffed out like a parachute and making a lot of noise. The big cats saw Trouble was being chased by an attacking plastic bag and ran away from her. Of course she just ran after them. So I had three cats running around trying to get away from the bag which looked totally hilarious. I finally caught Trouble and had to cut the bag handle to get her out because she was trying to fight both me and the bag. She still plays with the bags sometimes, but I now cut the handles off before I give her one, and all the others are put away. Debra in VA |

Rusty is frightened by plastic grocery bags. Maybe he was caught
in one before I adopted him. He was stuck with head in a yogurt containerwhen he tried to eat the leftover yogurt. It is funny to see a container bobbing with the rear end of a cat sticking out. Now I make sure I hold the container while he put his head inside to eat. Winnie "Debra" wrote in message ... Trouble kitty loves those plastic grocery bags.

Debra in VA Persia doesn't like plastic grocery bags unless I've just come in from the store and set them down on the floor. She pokes her head in to see if maybe I brought her something No, Persia, those fish fillets are not for you! Once they are empty, she avoids them at all costs. She especially hates it when she follows me into the kitchen and I snap out a new plastic trash can liner... she runs off several feet and watches, warily, to make sure the bag doesn't get me. Jill |

We had some gallon bottles of distilled water, still in the plastic bags from the supermarket, on the dining room floor. The cats had never bothered with those before. But, apparently, there's a first time for everything. DH and I were eating breakfast when we heard "crinkle crinkle crinkle". Next thing we saw was Stanley walking across the dining room, his head through a loop of one of the ex-plastic bags, and the torn-open bag draped down his back like a cape. I can only surmise that he got his head through one of the bag handles, and because of the weight of the bottle of water, when he pulled to get away the bag tore open and came with him. Stanley didn't actually seem to CARE that he was walking around with a white plastic cape, until DH and I both burst out laughing. Then he ran away, with me in pursuit so I could get the bag off him. I finally caught up with him in the basement and asked, "What are you doing? Dressing up as SuperCat?" ) Then I took the bag off the cat. Poor Stanley. Note to self... from now on, any bottles of distilled water are welcome to sit on the dining room floor WITHOUT remaining in the plastic bag from the supermarket. Donna, Captain, and Stanley |
