Humor What is your cats toxic trait?

This is Nova and her toxic trait is that she loves to drop her toys in her water bowl and then bring them to me on the bed absolutely soaked–leaving wet spots all over my bedding.

If it makes you feel better, I heard a completely different explanation which is that the chemicals in plastic taste sweet to cats so its like licking candy for them.

That would actually make sense, because my only cat that loves licking plastic bags and the like is also my skinny cat who throws up more frequently than the others

No, that's impossible since cats lack the type of taste buds that react to sweet tastes.

Whoever told you that is mistaken or they were pranking you....

Lmao noooo it's just the bags are made with animal fat so it smells tasty to them.
