Plastic Grocery Bags are Monsters!

The kitties were playing with a plastic grocery bag last night so I left it on the floor until this afternoon, when Claudio got it stuck over his head and one leg and decided that it was EATING HIM ALIVE and ran through the house in a panic, knocking into walls, tipping over plants, crashing into windows as he tried to COMMIT SUICIDE BY JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW before the evil monster ATE HIM FIRST!!!!!11!!1!!

Finally he got stuck beneath the geranium stand and Chris was able to cut it off with a pair of scissors. Hero headed for the hills immediately, and has been hiding behind the flat screen TV all afternoon. Claudio has been under the bed for 3 and 1/2 hours and shows no sign of emerging ever again. I just went to try to talk him out and he turned his head away and moved further beneath the bed. Does anyone know what to do with a severely traumatized kitty? After all, if you can't trust your local grocery store bag, who can you trust?
