Cat had a habit of licking plastic grocery bags. Didn't care two bits for catnip, but would go gaga for plastic bags. Well, one day the goober got so into it that she got her head into a bag handle, noticed that something was off, and panicked. So you have this cat sprinting all over the house, running away from the bag that's billowing and making scary noises just behind her... In the end she started running up the stairs, got the rest of the bag stuck under her paws, and just stood there in self-pity because she's pinned herself down.
I've been told it's because some plastic bags are produced with fish oil or tallow added. They can smell it.
