My current cat isn't bad about papers.  Her thing is plastic bags.  She licks them, bats at them so they make noise, drags them down off the counter where I store them, and sometimes goes running through the house carrying them on her mouth.  They really fascinate her for some reason.

My cat also licks them, like in a crazy kind of way! I read that there is animal fats rendered in the plastic and this possibly that is what the cats are picking up on.

All cat's do this to various degrees. It's they way of saying, "Yes, we are needy as Dog's"; just not willing to admidt it. It is also the reason if a cat bonds with a child under 3yrs old, when the child begins to be mobile, that it will get into more trouble than the average child - mostly due to their devious partner in crime.

I had a cat who loved magazines, not so much paper, but the texture of magazines.  Although, one time now this was years ago when we got paychecks, remember those days?  Anyway I had my check laying on the table and I was going to go to the bank to cash it, but I never got the chance.  She ate 3/4 of it!  I had to take the remaining 1/4 to payroll dept. the next day so they could issue me another check.   :BangHead:

He tries to lay on ours, but he gets yelled at for that one. usually he just jumps in our laps, and stands there until we pet him.

I have not had a cat for years....my current landlord not pet friendly.....I use to have a cat my son names Bob...it was a girl, she was a big yellow and white cat with a bob tail....the dogs in the area were afraid of bob she could beat'em  she was a good cat....on evening about five dogs trapped her under the house and killed her....if they had attacked her in the open she could have defended herself and got in the house.....I have not had a cat since....

My two cats are brother and sister but they are so different in their personalities. She enjoys the outdoors, brother on the other hand likes to stay inside. They even have various places to lay, never lying in the same place. They are truly a part of our family, always bringing a smile to our faces.  :cat:

My cats make sure I know they are around, especially my oldest boy.  When I am typing on a keyboard he will come and literally pull my hand away - letting me know - hey, it's time to pet me!!!!!  If I don't pay attention to him, he doesn't stop!!!  It's just their way of saying pay attention to me!!!!

Haha...My cat is similar. Whenever my nieces do home work and their papers are spread all over the table, my cat lays right on top of their stuff. I think my cat just likes chaos, LOL...Because whenever I'm sorting though papers or cleaning up, she lays right in the middle.
