Why do cats love to lay on bags and paper?11 replies

My cat lays on paper and bags and will not get off unless I pull them out from beneath her. Why is this?

• i would like know reliable suppliers or manufacturers of fashion hand bags in bangkok &about shipping to india
• fashion bags?
• Is there anyone want fashion stocks of shoes,clothes,bags,fashion accessories?
• Finding direct marketing companies for bags and fashion products?
• Where's good site to discuss fashion such as bags, shoes, etc?

   You should see them at Christmastime! THe BEST present you can give a cat at Christmas is to ball up your wrapping paper after each present opened and throw it all in a corner of the room. With every ball the cat will go happily nuts! When you are all done opening presents, your cat will still be going nuts in the great pile of paper balls.

   One of my cats does this too, although she mostly likes to sit on the newspaper, preferably when I am reading it. She also will not sit on laps, but if you are holding a newspaper on your lap she will sit on top of the newspaper on your lap. She also likes sitting in empty plastic laundry baskets. My other cat prefers soft surfaces: laps, pillows, blankets. The cats remain true to their preferences whether it is warm or cool. Odd creatures, aren’t they?

   My cat likes to sit on plastic and paper bags. It keeps them cool just like the previous poster said. Plus it makes a noise that they like. Mine also likes to sit in paper bags and cardboard boxes for close shelter.

   they like the sound the bags make while they are playing with them or lying on them.

   Cats are strangely attracted to paper. I know that mine, personally, like the sound, but the is one theory that says there is an attraction to the fibers themselves. Protein, or something like that. In any case, what works for me is to crumple up another piece of paper, and when they’re in position, throw it. I use scraps of paper I don’t need anymore, and my cats LOVE it. Now they can be doing anything irritating, and as soon as I crumple, they come running. I’m training them, and they don’t even know it! best of luck.

    I think they like the noise and the feel of it.

    My cat can’t resist a plastic bag she would chase it across the room and then lie down on it.
