Fairlady68, welcome to the Pet Talk board.
I have no information for you concerning your pet licking plastic. However, this morning my Jumper began to lick plastic on the monitor and printer. But I believe that he is doing that to tell me that he is hungry. Unless you have been around Jumper for a while, some of his antics may go unnoticed as having any meaning.
Is your Julie cat hungry, and does she not eat what she used to? Can you tell if there has been a change in her favorite foods?
