You would NOT believe what I did to my cat Abbott
Then again you'll probably yell at me for what I did, but it was funny as hell.

My cat got a hold of a giant size shopping bag from Sears that I had on my desk. He pulled it on the floor and made it into some sort of hiding place.

So when I discovered what he did, I picked up the shopping bag with Abbott in it. My god I thought I had a pig in a polk the way he was squirming around. He got lose but the bag was somehow stuck to his one leg and so I found him, removed the bag and snuggled apologetically with him for 10 minutes (he growled at me for the first minuted then curled up like a little kitten and purred for the rest).

I wish I had a picture - the site was too precious!!!

1. LOL! Had a similar experience with my cat.
He'd apparently decided to drag off of the cabinet and pounce upon a plastic grocery bag while I was at work one day.

I guess the bag fought back, because when I got home that night, he met me at the front door in a complete panic and a look of "GET IT OFF ME!" He'd managed to get his little bod through one of the handle-holes in the bag, and was wearing it like a skirt (and couldn't get it off).

First, I laughed until I cried.

Second, I grabbed the camera and captured the moment on film.

Finally, I removed the bag and petted him profusely until he was sufficiently soothed.

3. Same here except my cat used the plastic bag as a cape
and he liked it and thought he was the caped crusader himself. Ran around the house like a bullet. We called him "Super Cat" when he did that. He also liked to sleep in the bag. Just pick up the bag and hang it on a door knob and he would sleep that way for hours.

4. Cats just love to play "bag."
Give my cats a paper grocery bag, and they're happy for hours... especially if there's a hole in one corner to play "ambush" from.

5. We've done that lots of times... and also
My son loves to put a sock over a cats head from time to time. It's really quite humorous because they try to back out of it.

I don't let him do it very often.
