The big ones with handles. Specifically twine handles.
We had a couple down in the kitchen for the cats to play in/with. Sometimes I'd get lucky and roll a ball into one. That was fun!
Anyway, some weeks back at about zero dark forty-five, my wonderful wife and I were awakened from sound sleep by some bizarre racket. It came, it zipped into a1nd out of the room, it left.
Turns out Inky had been playing with the large bag with twine handles, and apparently got a handle around her neck. Cats do what cats do, she fled with the bag apparently in hot pursuit.
I found the evidence in the kitchen, and having read a number of Dick Tracy comics over the years, did the detective work and reached a conclusion.
We still have the bag with the paper handles. But I snipped them, so they can't catch any unawares cat in the middle of the night.
Happened with one of my cats on the second day we had her with a paper grocery bag. Knocked stuff off kitchen counter, broken glass, cleared off kitchen table then got caught up in a plant stand trellis, plant knocked over and in top of her dirt every where. She got stuck in the plant stand and we were able to catch her then. She was a bit traumatized by that for a few days. Still likes bags, we just always cut the handles since then.
Sometimes we humans have to learn things the hard way. Fortunately for my wife & I the "Always Cut The Handles Off" lesson happened during the day, and nothing was broken.
My cats like to play with the plastic grocery bags (always supervised of course). My old orange guy stuck his head in the handle one day and the bag chased him all over the house before I could catch him and get it off. He looked like superman with his cape.
