Our cat goes nuts for some plastic bags - licking and licking them like they’re the best thing ever.

Granted he’s a little weirdo, but I looked into in on the off chance there was something wrong with him or the plastics could be harmful, but the only thing I could come up with was that some bags have more tallow in them than others and that was what he was reacting to.

So, therefore, tallow in plastic = tasty for cats.

That can’t be good news, ecologically.

What currency out of interest? If it's pounds it's probably not the tallow the cat's after ;)

Is this a reference to the small bit significant traces of cocaine found on £ notes?

As the bags are made from polyethylene, it might be traces of ethylene too --- the same gas emitted by ripe fruit.
