Sweetie is trying to eat my purse

The last few days, I caught Sweetie chewing on the straps of my leather purse. The purse is not new and she's never done this before. I went so far as to put it in a plastic grocery bag and she tried to get in the bag. The straps have teeth marks all on them. Hopefuuly I'm getting a new one for Mothers Day and will put this one away, Have any of you had this experience?

Our cats will lick my roommate's leather boots and leather jacket. Cats are odd ducks sometimes.

Not my purse, but I turned around the other day and Larry had one of the straps of my backpack in his mouth and was trying to drag it across the floor.

It's a heavy backpack. It really made me laugh.

My Matilda loves to jump in my work bag. As soon as I get home and put it on the chair she's trying to get inside, haha. It's actually pretty cute if she makes it inside.

I used to carry a huge purse, and several times I got to work and found Fred sleeping in it. Fortunately the boss thought it was cute and let me take him home, right down the street. Fred liked to wiggle down into the sleeve of my leather jacket and suck on the cuff.
Pepper doesn't chew on my purse, but she has peed in it twice.
