I think it's quite common for cats to lick plastic and chew on cardboard stuff, god (or whoever) knows why. Well, maybe the cats too, but I know no human who does, including our nearest vet.
Our last cat (we used to have four. One got hit by a car, one had a heart attack, one just died of old age, and the last one had lung cancer) used to lick plastic foil, and chew on LEGO antennae, and my brothers insane Dude (we call him dude because he tends to lay in a hammock with his elbow stretched out in truck driver manner while giving us a stoned look) often sits in cardboard boxes, nonchalantly biting off pieces of them and spitting them onto the floor. He looks very determined when doing this, as if he thinks "who cares how long it takes, I will bring this box down.
And yes, your cat is insane. All of them are. If your cat seems normal, (s)he is most likely just pretending or is insane by cat standards.

Cats are strange about chewing. One of ours (now deceased via old age) developed an uncontrollable habit of chewing lamp cords. I must have replaced a dozen after first finding one with conductors actualy bare (don't know how she didn't get a shock, although she was pure black so if her fur got blackened we'd have never known.) She would sidle over to the cord while keeping one eye on me, knowing I was about to yell at her, and as soon as I moved at all she'd fly down the hall. Five minutes later she'd be back, slinking around behind the furniture so you knew she was up to something. Come to think of it, cats are strange, period.
Not as bad as pet rats, though. Rats and mice have to chew, as their teeth grow constantly. Also, they are incontinent, you know; they don't really have practical bladders, just constantly seep a trail of urine. Rather "eeeww" to me, although I did trap and keep a pet mouse briefly. After its second escape from the Kritter Keeper my wife banished it to the wild. Really, really cute though, all eyes and ears.
Still better than a pet spider, centipede, or scorpion. What's up with that? (Although I did want to bring home a beautiful leech we once found in the Conasauga River. She Who Must Be Obeyed shot that down immediately.)

Where the hell do you people find these ridiculous pictures, and why is this under gaming?Khell_Sennet said:
EDIT: Looks like a lonely (and single) gamers dream, laugh out loud (didnt say lol cause dey tolds us to nots uses it).
P.S.S I tried to make a roflcopter but it wouldn't turn out.
Did you have boy rats? The bladders on the boys are basically run on the slow leak system. It's a territory-marking thing. Girl rats tend to pick a toilet area and stick to it. Where that toilet area is located, however... The girls are worse chewers too, because they'll shred everything and try to build a nest with it. They also steal food and hide it around, which is how I've ended up pulling withered strawberries, moldy beans, and chicken bones out from under every piece of furniture I've ever know. My favorite was when one of my rats stole a piece of food off my plate and tried to hide it in my shirt.werepossum said:
I didn't have rats at all, at least not intentionally. I did grow up in a house with a vegetable cellar, and sometimes at night (big!) gopher rats would come in to get potatoes from the bin. We had a very large and foul tempered outside cat; sometimes the cat would win, and sometimes the rat would win. Since then I've had cats, so no rats and no mice except the one (briefly) in the Kritter Keeper. I've learned something though; I didn't know not all rats peed all the time. Doesn't exactly fill me with rat love, though.mshcherbatskaya said:
Yes, this is rather tenuously related to gaming. Except the story about the dog and the XBox; that's pretty funny.
Your cat's particular attraction to the 360 could be something like the release oils used in manufacture. I'd have said texture, but that wouldn't explain the box.
Booo! Funny, but BOOO!Zera said:You said your cat is fat? If so then its obviously American. American cat likes american console.
Getting presents in the form of dead animals is normal for you posters above.. they are bringing you food.
About the 360, that's pretty strange, but (as it's been pointed out) all cats are.
I had a cat that would sleep on the hand railing at the very top of the stairs.. digging in it's claws so it wouldn't slide down, a cat that would sleep on top of the rabbit cage (when we didn't catch it) to drive the rabbit nuts, a cat that would sit with it's back side on the couch, and it's front on my head when I was on the couch playing games as a kid, and a cat that would fight dogs all around the block and win.. that same cat would hunt about 3 stories up in trees, jumping out to catch birds in mid flight then smash them on the ground. He would bring them to me later of course.
Cats=crazy
aye cats = crazy
since we got this new computer (its absolutely massive) the cats have taken to sitting on top of it just so he can be eye level with us, also my cats both rub the underside of their chin on everything, anything and everything, its quite baffling sometimes.

My dad used to have a cat called Whisky that was the size of a dog and...boxed. Yeah, it didn't bother extending its claws, it just punched other cats.
Had a cat that loved CD trays,licking of the console not so much but it could be a simi addictive reaction to the plastic (chemical reaction to the plastic) or a way to clean the tung or...just kitty insanity.
I once had a cat that licked anything it could when you pet it.....
