Cindy had something like this happen after wraping Christmas packages. She lost track of a length of red ribbon. Lamoni had found it.

A day or so later Cindy was petting Lamoni and thought that there was something odd under his tail. It was the red ribbon. She took hold of the end of the ribbon and just HELD ON.

As Lamoni walked away the ribbon came out the rear end. He did all of the pulling. Cindy says that there was almost two feet of ribbon in there. Well, he IS a big cat.
