I am also terrified of beethoven finding another pin. He swallowed a flower head pin which ended up going through his stomach or intestines into his body cavity. $2500 later, I have the pin in a bag in my desk drawer. I get so mad at myself every time I think of what he had to go through because of my carelessness.

The needles would worry me to death! Years ago I actually had a cat swallow a needle that I had stuck in the side of a spool of thread. I alled the vet and asked what to do and they said "Oh , she probably didn't swallow it, just look around on the carpet." Well I saw her bat the spool off the table and by the time I got off the bed and grabbed the spool, she had pulled the thread loose and swallowed the piece of thread and the needle at the end!! One surgery and a few hundred dollars later I got my needle back. The sweet kitty has been gone for almost 10 years now but I still have the needle in a prescription bottle from the vets with her name and the date of removal on the bottle. The experience made me be much more careful
with my needles and thread!!
