A quick warning

Glad all's well that ends well.     Korky was a feind for plastic carriers - you can just see my hands trying to pull one from under him in my avatar.

Well after the calming tablet Amber was very cuddly and soppy which was lovely and calmed me down as well. I also had to phone my parents and calm them down as I was on the phone to them when Amber came flying through the room after knocking loads of stuff in the kitchen over and me screeching...all very dramatic.

It is something that is so easily avoided I do feel bad but I know thats a bit daft as in 10 yrs its the first time shes done it so I will have to watch out for fish bags in future.

Try not to feel guilty, everyone makes a little mistake now and again - it absolutely does not make you a bad meowmy.  You should be rewarded for your services to felines just for posting and reminding the rest of us to be more careful with carrier bags.

Nova is very cute and so is Ella. Arent they funny for getting into everything. Amber loves her boxes, open drawers, cupboards and anything else she isnt really supposed to be in 

Thanks all

I'm glad she's ok, treats always help soothe them 

I have a similar problem in that Nova gets into plastic bags but he loves them - it's just still dangerous.  Now i've learnt to stretch the carrier bag handles if I can or hide all plastic bags  or this happens

Amber is fine thank you. Im more the nervous wreck and trying hard to be calm in case I set her off 
Shes currently doing the 'I want to get up but I cant' routine which as she could this morning I dont belive she just wants picking up

Poot did the exact same thing last night with a large Primark paper bag, we'd been playing with it earlier and it had been fine, he went hooning into it, burst his way through, so he was wearing it    He went running off so fast I couldn't catch him, its really scary and freaked both of us out

So pleased Amber is fine

Was the lingering smell of fish.............I am so pleased she is OK

Thank you
Well Amber persuaded me she really needed some treats and cuddles to calm down so now shes following me around in the hope I'll give her more treats. I wont though

Poor Amber At least you were in so you could get to her quickly, hope she calms down soon 

This happened to my childhood cat only we weren't in to witness it, came home from a meal out to find him terrified and wild eyed but thankfully with no lasting damage.

In all the time Amber has lived here she has shown no interest in plastic bags. Mogs used to chew the handles so I always made sure they were kept in the cupboard. Since Mogs died Ive not done that.
Today my Mum gave me a freezer bag with some fish in it and put it in a plastic bag to carry. I put the fish in the freezer and washed the freezer bag as Amber seemed really interested but never even thought about the plastic bag. About half an hour ago Amber came flying through the living room with a carrier bag around her head. She ran into the wall and then back over the settee. I grabbed at the and got the bag off her head and from around her waist and she disappeared under the bed.
Shes since come out and is totally fine but as Im supposed to be calming her down from the last stress cystitis attack Im not calm!.
I cant believe I was so stupid but it didnt occur to me that for the first time in 10yrs she would get into a carrier bag! The vet gave me some hypovase for if Amber got stressed and Ive just given her half a tablet but to be honest I think Im more stressed than she is now.
