Did a hairball save Smudge's life?

[Karen]

Goodness, gracious, Smudge! Way to scare momma, dude! No ingesting sticks again, okay?

Wow! I'd have to agree that the hairball did save his life or at least save you some expensive vet bills. One time my Pearl pooped out a red elastic string and I found the toy and threw it away. She was also one lucky cat.

Could it be cotton candy on a wooden stick?

Do you own a straw broom?

It was an honest-to-goodness twig, like from a bush or tree. All I can think of is it got stuck in my sweater or my hair and fell off in the house - it was too big to have come in in my shoe treads. I wonder if he just likes to chew? I'll try some grain-free chew treats, see what he thinks of them.

Love, Columbine

Smudge, you sure are lucky!

Whew!

My goodness....that's the biggest one I've heard of I think.

Glad he's ok.

Its incredible what Our Cats will eat and swallow, and we are just glad that Smudge was able to get rid of that twig without doing any internal damage!!!'
