Cats love bags! Many cat owners were asking me why do cats like bags? Why do they like these seemingly useless objects? Well, there are several reasons which you will be able to discover in this article. So without further ado, let’s jump right into it!
Cats can often be found snuggled up inside bags because it provides them with warmth and comfort. On the other hand, Cats adore these shapes because they provide them with a sense of security. They feel secure since the bag acts as if it were their very own hideaway, where they may hide from predators or dangers. Furthermore, cats simply love to play with these forms for hours on end, even if the bag isn’t in use!
So why do cats like bags?
Bags appeal to our feline friends because they offer safe, enclosed areas that act as hiding places. Cat’s instinctually seek out dark, tight spaces because it makes them feel secure and protected. They like these kinds of hiding spots because it helps them ambush their prey more easily or escape predators (or simply their owners when they don’t want to be found).
The dark and enclosed shapes of a bag make cats feel a little more at ease because they can easily hide in plain sight. However, if it’s also been scented with the owner’s odor, it makes them even harder to notice! Cats hate being dirty, which is why most of the time, they’ll only play with a new toy for a few moments before losing interest.
Cats like certain things, which might be perplexing to some. Every cat is unique with its own personality and preferences. Therefore there’s no one reason why cats enjoy bags.
Why does my cat rub her face on my bag?
This is a question many people have been asking me recently, and I would like to give you the answer. Cats may scratch and rub their faces against items in their territory, recognizing them as part of their space and wanting to claim it as theirs.
If your cat gives your bag this kind of attention, then that means that she is most likely comfortable with your scent and wants to claim it for herself. Sometimes, cats with anxiety or that haven’t been spayed/neutered may start this behavior as a way of marking their territory.
So how can you use this information? From my experience, the best thing to do is to rub your cat with whatever she’s rubbing on – in this case, it will be your bag! You can either grab some of her favorite treats and let her eat them while sniffing the bag or simply give it a pet. Since your cat already associates your bag with good things, this will entice her to rub on it more often!
Why do old cats like to sleep in bags?
Old cats are generally more laid-back than young cats, which is why they may sleep in your luggage! The less stressed you are, the less likely you’ll be to find comfort in something like a bag. Even though it takes some time for them to calm down, older cats are wary of life’s pressures.
Why do cats like to like plastic bags?
Plastic bags are an interesting thing for cats because they can be both appealing and repulsive. Many cats will love to play with plastic bags, but some find them far more terrifying than anything else! However, there is a reason why plastic bags appeal more to certain kitties than others.
As we mentioned before, our feline friends like dark and tight spaces. Plastic bags offer them that and more – the crinkling noise they make is like a call to action for most cats! The sound alone makes your cat think it’s something worth attacking, so I’m sure you can guess what happens next; she’ll likely try to pounce on it as if it were prey trying to escape.
Sometimes, plastic bags also leave a trail of scent behind, which is why they’re such a hit.
How do I get my cat to stop licking plastic bags?
Let’s face it, a lot of us enjoy the feeling of being licked but from your cat’s point of view, licking plastic bags isn’t as enjoyable. Since it leaves a terrible taste behind, your cat will do everything in her power to avoid doing so again – even if she has to lick you instead!
The only way to get your cat to stop licking plastic bags is with a mix of determination and patience. First, you want to start by removing all the plastic bags from your household. If that’s not possible, try putting them out of reach so your kitty can’t have access to them anymore – she’ll learn her lesson soon enough!
This will take a lot of time, but you also have to teach your cat how to redirect her behavior. If she’s licking you, gently take one of her paws and start moving it around – try scratching her so she can release some of that built-up energy. As soon as the licking stops, praise your cat for being a good girl!
Conclusion
In conclusion, your cat is most likely marking her territory by rubbing against objects in the house. Furthermore, cats may also be drawn to bags because they find it a place of comfort and security due to its tight spaces and dark areas.
