No, I don't think Sweetie is strange. He's a rescue I adopted when he was about 2 and a half. I don't know anything about his early years, but it's possible he was in some type of environment where he was just never exposed to anything like a paper bag.Has anyone ever told you your cat is bizarre? NOT LIKE PAPER BAGS?!! Are you sure Sweetie is a CAT? Seriously, I've got two little cats something like this: one is small, orange, and has rice inside, so it can be microwaved to be warm and then put in with a cat who needs warmth; and the other is larger, between kitten and cat size; it has a removable red plastic "heart" that has batteries inside; you turn the switch on and it has a heartbeat vibration. I bought this one for a kitten I rescued and I put it in with her to reassure her. She liked it.
