AStarving or eating grass to make themselves sick are fairly normal for dogs and cats with gut upsets but it shouldn’t happen all the time. Q I have two rescued cats and the seven-year-old one is always licking plastic bags and tearing up newspapers and paper hankies. A few cats have a taste for plastic bags and a possible cause is that many plastic items are made from rendered animal fat. These issues are more quirky than problematic, so you should just keep plastic bags and papers out of your cats’ reach.
