What did he tell you to do?? I have kitties too, and would love to know a trick to try so that they might be ok. Thanks,Gina

While speaking of kitties - I had a wad of thread from a bobbin that was near empty but I needed, The cat woke me up during the night running around trailing a long string of thread. I cut it as there was no way to get it back - the vet said we would know within 48 hours if an operation was needed. Thankfully she managed to pass it all, Since then I cut all the thread into short pieces just in case the thought crosses her mind again - she did dig it out of the trash can by the sewing table. ( I also try to put similar stuff in the kitchen COVERED trash can!!) Those kitties are really curious!!

The vet intern told me to take pea-sized cotton balls and soak them them in chicken or beef broth and stick them far enough back into his throat so he would swallow them. I fed him over a period of a couple hours enough to be the size of an average cotton ball. (He did not like the cotton balls) Then I gave him a good doze of hair ball medicine. The vet said if we were lucky the little cotton balls would catch up with the needle and encase it. We were to watch for any indications of pain or unusual behavior. We shut him in the garage with his cat box and sure enough 3 days later he passed the cotton ball wrapped around the needle. He lived to be 19 years old. P.S. If you think looking for a needle in a haystack is bad, wait till you have to search the catbox................

here I thought I was the only one with a cat that liked to steal my pins. I watched her do it with me standing just a couple feet away. then I had to chase her down to take the pin away so she wouldn't hurt herself. I have to make sure to put everything away if I leave the room for any amount of time. lol.
