How to handle cats that like to eat plastic bags:

1. Enrich the diet. A single cat food cannot meet the cat's body needs for trace elements. In addition to feeding cat food, you can also prepare some nutritious meals for cats to help cats supplement their nutrition.

2. Supplement trace elements. In addition to dietary adjustments, cats can also be fed some nutritional supplements to help cats replenish quickly.

3. Organize items at home. After a cat suffers from pica, it is necessary to tidy up the small things at home in time to prevent the cat from eating them into the body and causing accidents.

4. Stop it in time. If cats like to eat plastic bags, we can scold them loudly. After a few times, the cats will understand that we want to stop them.

5. Administer vegetable oil. If you only eat a small amount into the stomach, you can give the cat an appropriate amount of vegetable oil to lubricate the intestines and help it expel it.

6. Send to hospital for treatment. If severe intestinal obstruction occurs, you need to go to the pet hospital for treatment in time.

The reasons why cats like to eat plastic bags:

1. Relieve stress. It may be that the cat is physically and mentally stressed and will release the stress by chewing, swallowing, or licking plastic bags.

2. Boredom and loneliness. It could be that the cat is simply bored and passing the time by playing with or licking plastic bags.

3. Plastic bags retain smell. If the plastic bag has been filled with food, the cat may eat it to lick the smell.

4. Lack of trace elements. Minerals, vitamins, arginine, and taurine are all essential trace elements for cats. When cats are deficient in one or more items, they will develop "pica" behavior.
