You should never do this. Th eyarn could be trapped in a curve of the bowel and pulling it out could cause damage. If this ever happens, simply snip off the thread/yarn that's sticking out (gross, I know) and let the rest pass naturally. You may have to snip a few times, but eventually they should pass it all out.

I know this from personal experience. We pulled thread from a kitty's behind and it sliced open the bowel and he bled to death internally.
