I’ve had all my cats since they were kittens, none of them has ever had anything bad done to them with plastic bags. Why then do they all run away in terror when I empty the bins or get a carrier bag out to go shopping? Does anybody know?

The carrier bag is a monster to cats – they fear it like a human fears a vampire. Or so I assume.
The noise probably scares them. I don’t know, I’ve never had cats, I’m allergic!
Yeah, the same thing happens to my cat. Most cats don’t like big things flying over their head, or big objects like a trash bag near them.
not all do, mine loves to crawl inside any bag left on the floor, carrier bags included! But she doesn’t like the bin bags being shaken open!
cats are notorious snobs and would never live their 9 lives in peace if they were associaqted with something so common
my cats don’t. quite the contrary, they play with plastic bags every chance they get. i had to save two of them from sufacating, they were wrapped up so much they couldn’t breathe. and another one actually drowned. got wrapped up real good in plastic, then fell into the lake. dead before i could reach her. poor thing. believe me, your cats are better off afraid of plastic bags!
i have a cat 2 but she does not run away from bags she will play with them so i dont why your cats do soz
they are just affraid maybe because the sound they make the noise hurts their ears cause the frenquency is high
i used to have a crazy cat who would love to fall asleep in carrier bags, used to give me a scare when unpacking shopping lol
I think it is the noise they make.
I wish I had the same problem but my cat is the opposite. She loves to chew them so I have to keep them way out of reach. She has been known to drag one in from the kitchen to my room and knead it as a form of alarm clock to tell me she needs feeding! My cat is strange though….
I think its the sound. My cats do it too. I think its normal.
for the same reason my dog shits him self and runs away when ever he sees a water bottle or a bottle of oj… i dont know why
I don’t know. Our cats like to play with the plastic bag. Maybe your cats are just scared of them.
think it must be the noise plastic bags make..that doesnt stop them ripping dustbin bags open to get chicken bones out though !
hi
It must be the noise they make…. my new kitten is not bothered about them at all, she is very laid back… yet my old cat would run and hide at the slightest rustle of a Sainsburys bag….
No way!
My kitten Smudge loves them, every time he see’s one he kicks the crap out of them!!
My cats love plastic bags!
they dive at them and try to “kill” them in a game lol
I think it is just your cats nature, some l;ike them others dont!
Well, my current cat quite likes plastic bags, he sees them as a game and doens’t seem scared, more intrigued.
However I used to have a cat when I was a kid that was scared of everything and in particular plastic bags and the oven door (don’t ask! I don’t know why she was scared of the oven I never tried to cook her). So I think it just depends on the cat and Iwouldn’t worry about it, anyway they are dangerous to cats as they can suffocate so best if they keep their distance I’d say.
Ok, so I’ve got a weird cat…lol! My cat is obsessed with plastic bags – as soon as you put one down he gets in it whether there’s stuff in it or not – he even falls asleep in them sometimes! He also doesn’t mind being carried around in them for a few seconds.
My cat like carrier bags but not bin liners. She used to like playing in empty bin liners until one day when she was playing in one she run out of it and put her head through the handle. As she ran off the air gushed into the bag inflating it and it looked like a big yellow parachute behind her. She wasn’t amused. I shouldn’t laugh but it was funny at the time.
Well I can honestly say that my kitten is the total opposite! when there is a carrier bag on the floor she dives straight in …. she loves them !!
My cat loves it when I carry in grocerys in plastic bags. She tries to see what is inside, then when it is empty, she crawls inside the bag and hides. I only let her play in the bag when I am watching her every second because she could suffocate.
Mine don’t he puts them around his neck and jumps off the furniture like he is super kitty
im not sure and i should know i own 4 of em I have strange cats they sleep in them!!!
because a cat can sufficate if it goes into a plastic bag. your cats probably know that and want to stay away from that situation.
I wish my kitty would run from plastic bags. My cat actually gets into the drawer where I keep them and likes to drag them across the house. I am have to find a new storage area for them because I am afraid he will suffocate while playing with the bags.
my ex cat would sniff around a carrier bag
if it had food shopping inside
until i came home 1 day and put
our carrier bags down onthe floor
as usual he would run over to
the bags and sniff over them
whereapon he put his head through
the carrier bag handle in his effort
to gain entry to the food inside
realised his head was restricted
and went absolutely beserk
hissing growling clawing at the bag
with his back foot my mother
through a bath towel over him
and i stretched the plastic bag
handle to set him free
he ran upstairs as fast
as lightning and did not
venture back down
for hours,lol after that
when ever we came home
from shopping he would go
around the back of the armchair
and meoww loudly i tried to coax
him out and he scarpered with
his tail upright and 5xbushed out
to normal size .that was how it
remained for 20mins lol
thats wierd cos one of my kitten loves playing in plastic bags. whenever we bring home the groceries it jumps into one and starts playing.
My cat loves plactic bags. I have to watch what I do with them for fear of him suffocating himself. He will crawl inside and completely wrap it around his body. My pittbull/boxer is terrified of plastic bags.
my female cat loves the noise they make she jumps on em she loves all bags she will rub herself all over my handbag
ROLF ! ! ! Mine claims plastic bags as her personal playthings. When I used to have all my bags loose under the sink, she’d climb in and make a nest for herself in the bags. She has to personally inspect every plastic grocery bag that comes into the house. The other day I picked one up from under the table where she’d dragged it and decided to sleep on it for several hours. From the look she gave me, you would have thought the world just ended.
As for your scaredy cats, best guess is that they were somehow traumatized by the sound of rattling plastic bags when they were very young and they’ve associated that feeling with the sound ever since.
all my cats are the same – its very loud to them cos they have better hearing then us:P
i can’t keep my cats away from them. they sleep on them, crawl into them, play with them, i daren’t leave a plastic bag & my cats in the same room unattended.
My two love plastic bags. They get really excited when we come in from Sainsbury’s! They are in those bags like a shot. No idea why because ordinarily they don’t like loud noises and carrier bags tend to be quite noisy. I would have assumed they would be scared of them but they play with them instead.
