Timmy also like to sniff plastic...he is constantly sniffing any plastic thing in our house such as; trash bags, grocery bags, our shower curtain, suitcase knobs, any trash that's plastic, literally anything plastic he will sit by and sniff until we shew him away. when we come in the house with new plastic, he knows right away and goes crazy for it!! do you think he gets high?

I have five cats, and only one loves plastic. He sniffs and licks it. When he is done
his inspection, he lays on it for a bit. I have no idea why, but some cats just like plastic.
Maybe it is because plastic is hydrocarbon based?

Plastic bags, especially, get coated with oil (which I think is fish-based) to keep them from sticking together. Or at least that's what I've been told for why some cats are fascinated by them.
