This is a difficult behavior to explain, and some cats are more prone to it than others. Most feline behaviorists have come to believe that some cats find a slight odor to the plastic and/or photograph surfaces simply irresistible, and also that the coolness and texture of the plastic and/or film must feel and taste good on the cat's tongue. It may also be another form of trying to "nurse" - sort of a feline "oral compulsive" behavior. Completely harmless so long as they don't actually eat any of it. Although the constant russling sound is a little annoying for the cat owner.

A cat chews up things in the house possibly because they find the smell or taste interesting, or they have nothing else to chew up. To fix this maybe you should try playing with the cat more often, for then the cat would chew the toys rather than household objects.

My cat does that too. ;) It just tastes good to them and makes an interesting crinkly noise they like.
