All cat owners know that their pets simply adore plastic bags.

A cat may ignore a new toy from a pet store, but will never pass by a bag.

Cats especially love to climb into the bag and sit there. We explain why.

What attracts a cat to a bag?

Firstly, cats perceive the bag as a shelter. Sitting in the bag, the cat feels safe.

Secondly, cats are attracted by the rustling sound of cellophane, which makes the pet want to hunt.

Thirdly, cats are attracted by the smells coming from the bag. Cats generally love to sniff things brought in from the street.
