I have been doing some reading and stumbled on something called Wool Sucking. This article sounds exactly like what my Lizzie does!! It even mentions that plastic bags and other products can contain the lard that Tracey mentioned - and that the smell attracts kitties.
Lizzie does suckle on fabric...we always call her fleece bed her "sucky" because she will lick it when she is very tired. She even suckles the air sometimes![]()

The above article calls it a compulsive behavior. OK, so my little Lizzie has "issues"?? Oh, and she licks hair, too..
and plastic coated envelopes....
and on big sister Emily....

I had never read about this wool sucking behavior and it sounds like it is pretty common. They say it is probably related to her weaning from her momma and is something that sometimes does not go away.
I appreciate the help hereI do think the best I can do is try to cover wires, try the bitter apple, etc. I sure don't want her to bite into a live cord
