ok this board doesnt get very much action but i want to know if anyone else who has cats has a problem with them chewing on plastic. i've had cats all my life and none of them did this but i have 3 cats that are out of control. they chew on shopping bags, department store bags, literally anything plastic and i think it's the reason they are always barfing. thoughts?

yes! we have this problem with one of our cats. we hide all the plastic she adores.
do not know why she does this either. she vomits too, but she also doesn't chew,
just gobbles food down. (it's not a dental problem)
am putting a little dry food with her wet food to trick her into eating what the vet recommended for the crystals in her urine. been giving both our cats that malty goo for hairballs, and i'm hoping something in it is satisfying her craving for plastic. however i will continue to put up all plastic products! good luck!
