She got a plastic Walgreen's bag caught around her neck and lost her freaking mind! It's her own fault really, for some reason she is drawn to bags whether they be plastic or paper. She loves to sit in them, on them and scratch them. But i guess this particular bag did not want to be sat on so it attacked her. I have never seen Mia run so fast in her life! This is a portly cat mind you, she's a good 18 pounds if not more. You'd think the devil himself was after her. She ran into every wall, cabinet and fixture in her way as she ran for her life, all the while Max chasing after her adding fuel to the fire. It was by far the funniest thing i've ever seen, i was unable to catch her to get the bag out from around her neck, i was trying to help her and she was running from me like i was the one who'd put her in this predicament. She finally stopped in between our hutch and mini refrigerator in the kitchen. She was so scared that the hair on her back was standing straight up! And she was growling the funniest little growl i've ever heard, and breathing very hard, i bet her heart had never beat faster. So i'm trying to reach over her head to pull the bag off all the while actually afraid she was going to try to bite me, i've never been scared of being bitten by Mia before! Sweet P, yes, Mia... never! So i went around to the back of the fridge where i was able to just pull the handle and it broke in two. But she still didn't move. Still growling and scared half to death i tried to coax her out but she wasn't having any of it. So i left her alone. About 30 minutes later i went back into the kitchen to find that she was still growling and now hissing at the other cats and me. I don't know why she was mad at me, i saved the heifer from the "bag of death". I tried to get her to come into the bed room but she wasn't having it, she hissed and ran away when i tried to pick her up. So i gave up and went to bed. This morning i was frantically trying to find her, she was M-I-A, i finally thought to look up and found her on top of the regular-sized fridge. Normally i would have made her jump down from there, but felt bad for her so i let her stay. She allowed me to pet her without growling. I imagine she jumped up there not long after i went to bed and stayed all night to avoid the ridicule and laughter of the other cats. She jumped down of course when i put food in the bowl. If only i could have caught the incident on tape i'm sure i could have won $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos!To prove her unhealthy obsession for bags, i have included this picture taken on a previous occasion. There was actually stuff IN this bag when she decided to make it her temporary housing, but that didn't stop her. Oh, the one that tried to kill Mia last night had a couple of items in it as well.

Awh...poor Mia, I lost a cat who had a plastic bad fetish. She found it while I was away at work, I can home and she had it wrapped around the neck, she was such a sweetie too. You better keep those bags put up!!
