Many cat owners have noticed that their pets like plastic bags.

Cats try to play with these bags, chew them, and sometimes even climb inside.

Fluffy creatures are apparently attracted by the rustling sound of the material: most likely, the sound that appears reminds pets of mice.

As a result, our four-legged friends awaken their hunting instinct.

Owners of fluffy animals come to the conclusion: “The cat found a toy for himself, and that’s good.”

In fact, you can't leave your purr alone with the bag. Moreover, it is advisable to immediately take this "toy" away from the cat.

The fact is that a plastic bag poses a huge danger to an animal.

Why are bags dangerous for cats?

If we are talking about a large package, the cat can climb inside. It is possible that the animal will get entangled and will not be able to get out right away.

Over time, there will be less and less air left. Perhaps it will lead to tragedy.

The handles on many packages also pose a danger to the cat. The pet's head can get caught in this part of the package. This phenomenon can also end tragically.

In addition, the purr may start chewing polyethylene. It is possible that the fluffy one will choke on particles of this material.

To avoid putting your cat's life at risk, never give your pet plastic bags. By the way, paper ones too.

Noticed how your cat "took" a bag and started playing with it? Take the bag away from your pet immediately!
