My Pearl is one very lucky little girl. I was cleaning out the litterboxes tonight and she decided to go poo in the one that I had just cleaned out. I finished cleaning the others and then decided to clean the one that she had just used. She had some mushy poo which is unlike her and I thought I also saw some red in it. My first thought was blood.:eek: No, it wasn't blood but it was several inches of red elastic string.:eek: I'm not sure when she swallowed this but I'm so glad that it was able to pass through her.
My mom was at a garage sale a few weeks ago and bought my cats some cat toys. One of them was a furry mouse toy that squeaks when they bat at it. It had some red elastic string attached to it and wasn't tied to anything so I tied it to some red string that I already had. The cats loved it especially Pearl and Ziggy. They ended up tearing it off the other string so I just left it off but it still had some of the red elastic string attached to it. I've now thrown the whole mouse away. The head was starting to come off any way and there's some more plastic parts inside. No toy is worth indangering my furkids.
Pearl's been acting normally the whole time so I'm pretty sure that everything will be fine. Just in case though, please send some prayers and positive thoughts her way. I think I'll call my vets office tomorrow morning to ask them advice about this just to be on the safe side. Thanks for reading this long post.:)
