Knew a lady who's cat ate lots of thread and had to have surgery twice to remove it.

i can relate to that my babyhas kidney problems so she throws up quite often i spot clean but need to get someone in to do all the carpets but every time i say iam going to get it done she starts again. i guess i'll wait until she has to be put down

Dear Ditter, you are my hero for fighting the "winter blues monster" for me with your trusty keyboard. I was laughing so hard I was bouncing and was almost unable to scroll down to see the whole story. I'm glad to know the cat is fine. Keep posting!

Great story Ditter,but increase the size to a Mastiff dog and a tube sock!!!!!

change the image to a german shepherd and a bra being walked on the curb-side in New York City.

A cassette tape--the small kind--is particularly disgusting and very lengthy!

My cat did the same thing only other end. I saw she was trying to eat some thread and I grabbed it and pulled and pulled and pulled while she was gagging the whole time. She is fine. I am very careful about leaving thread laying around now.

Once had a pup that found a pair of panthose. He was outside, thankfully, and I saw him out the kitchen window and heard him yipping. By the time I reached him he had paeed the whole thing. Thankfully.

out cat has always had an unhealthy fascination with stringy things, and with thin plastic, like plastic bags and cellophane. come christmas, he used to think that the tinsel was placed on the tree for his amusement and snackage. every so often, he would experience the "tinsel butt" effect, with us chasing him around to catch him and his decorated behind--sometimes with a cat "decoration" hanging on the end of it. (we used to call him TB--then i quit putting tinsel on the tree. whew!)

advice, though--catch the beast, and snip it off if they have string/tinsel butt. if it is pulled out, it can lacerate their gut, and possibly kill them from infection. of course, it means having to watch them for a day or two--but we all know that tinsel is pretty, and vigilance is just a means to an "end"...

You are something else....ROFL

Have a dog....Been there done that!
