We brought Matrix back from the vet today..he made it through the night which is a good sign but he is not out of the woods yet. Vet said to watch him he wouldnt eat for them so they are hopin that by being home in his own environment that it might encourage him. We have had him home for six hours and he finally ate a small bit and drank on his own just a lil bit ago. So we are hopin that is a good sign and he will hopefully pass the rest of the string. Family has decided that we just cant afford the cost of the surgery.. so keep kitty prayers for Matrix please. I will continue to update everyone until we are hopefully out of the woods and Matrix is pronounced all better.

That is really good news. God loves all the little critters!

Glad to hear he's recovering. But you'll still have to watch him - cats dont learn cause/effect.

Definitely we all will be watching him a lot closer. We set up a large dog kennel in my daughters room and he will always be in it when the door to my quilting room is opened. Thanks again everyone for your support and prayers.

Well, he just used up one of his 9 lives! Keeping a cat out of the sewing room is difficult; there are so many interesting things for them to get into! We can all learn a lesson from this.

zofja as a kitten ate an entire acme plastic bag. I was afraid it wrapped around any organs. I blessed her and slowly pulled the bag out. Kitty Angels were with her and the bag came out in one piece. Now I have to watch her all the time. She has taste buds for flowers, plastic bags, dead bugs. Everything but cat food.

Thank goodness it worked out! I had the same experience with a piece of yarn and my cat, fortunately I was able to slowly pull it out of his mouth, he was a little gaggy but we got the whole thing out in one piece. He's the first cat I've ever had that actually seeks out the string/thread/yarn so I keep that stuff put away when I'm not in my sewing room. My other cat had a passion for those rubber fingers you use when sorting papers. There was no place you could put them that she couldn't find them.

But when they eat icicles from the tree their poo is so sparkly!

:lol:

Hope your thread eating kitty is ok. My cat's favorite spot to be with me is beneath the sewing machine. Luckily she doesn't nibble on threads.

mine just likes to steal the spools...so glad they don't eat the thread!!
