to the VET now. mine ate a teeny tiny bit of polybatting and did that and ended up having a barium enema. that was fun. and another enema to clean him out. fixed that cat!! one reason mycats are not allowed in my sewing room now. too scary!!

Just got a update..they could not pull it out. Vet clipped the string where it was wrapped around the tongue. Waiting to see if he will pass it now that it is dislodged from the tongue. Hopefully it will..if not decisions will have to be made :((

Prayers he will be fine. Thank you for posting this! One of my cats ate some thick string and it passed some out of ... - I had to pull the rest. He is fine - but I am going to pay better attention.

praying for matrix! poor fella - they are just so curious sometimes i think they don't realize how dangerous things can be.

So sorry, let us know.

I hope kitty does okay. Goodness, keep that stuff away from cats. Who knew they would chow on that stuff? My silly dog would only eat string if it was covered in gravy with added meat chunks. And warm. He's a little picky.

Here's hoping kitty escapes unhurt and doesn't cost his mom a bundle. The heartache is enough.

I hope he's ok. My cat, Henry, ate some elastic thread, and they had to operate to get it out. In the long-run I'm glad he had the operation because it gave him many more years of life. It happened about 5 years ago, and you would never guess how bad off he had been. Keep us updated on Matrix.

I lost a cat this way several years ago. keep us posted on the status of this cat

I will say a prayer for him.

I guess I'm luck with the ever nosey Zipster.... he plays with things but the strangest things he likes is my cranberry juice or my soda.. havet o watch him like a hawk ovet my drink!
