Re: Re: Godi's pictures NOW Cats

My cats have also gotten into the ribbon -- I'm am currently living in a tinsel world. Also, I gave my daughter a jewelry box for Christmasand put a beautiful gold tassel on the key. When I got it to her house there was no key so I came home and carefully retraced my steps to no avail. I finally found it on the bathroom floor. Apparently it had been snatched when my back was turned. :-) Mine have never chewed on their strings; they just carry them around. They do the same thing with the little tinsel pompoms I find in notions departments. Some mornings I wake up surrounded by them.

Sorry guys, but I am with Pam on this one.... my cat
tends to roll, stalk, jump type stuff with his
prefered toys. Would hate to find that cord (string)
wrapped around his neck....

Very thin string can get ingested and cause trouble.
Cat's can chew string
and take it in, but are seemingly incapable of
spitting out, other than
regurgitating. A thick, long cord would be ok,
little chance of taking it
completely in.
