Elastic String

Weemer is gorgeous!

I'm glad to hear that Weemer finally pooped some of it out.:) My Pearl also ate some red elastic string and I was unaware of it until I saw her pooping it out. At first I thought it was blood in her stool. I later found the toy and threw it out. She was a very lucky cat. Now I make sure that all of my cats toys are safe. I even cut off the tails of the mice that I buy them because they also love to eat these.

Mom was careful and Tigger went through it just fine. He never had any problems from it. That is why I called my mom over. I knew she had a long history with cats and that she knew what to do.

thank you he is mommas lil boy for sure, and since i dont think all of it came out i'm still doing checks just to be safe, i already had one scare with him and a horrid bladder infection a couple years back, tummy is feeling a lil full so i think he should be using the box at some point today....lol thank goodness for rubber gloves, hubby says since the first batch it was all chewed in smaller pieces i need not worry but i do and will until i know he's rid of it all. can you believe he was tossed from a car window at 5 weeks old, thats how i got him, i went after him rather then the idiot who did it and he is a wonderful loving boy, well for me other people hes not too fond of unless you have beef jerky or whipped cream...lol
