Cats can be motivated by texture, so that may be part of it.

  That's my theory. Every cat I've had had some level of addiction to licking/chomping plastic. All kinds of plastic, so I don't buy the made-with-tallow theory. Grocery bags, cling wrap, rubber bands, 6-pack rings. One of the current ones likes to chew holes in the plastic shower curtains. Little freak. :-)

    This is great. I have a partner whose cat loves chewing plastic, rubber bands and hair elastics, foam... we always thought it weird but I haven't heard of others with this experience til today. So now I wonder if his other peculiarities are common. The cat is very attached to my partner, and won't let anybody else touch him (always ready with tooth and claw). Not quite as possessive as a parrot, but he's a bit of a terror. He gets especially violent when he's hungry -- you're allowed to walk past his bowl once, but if you don't return with food, watch out.
