Kfitzi is very sick

[Randi]

I missed this yesterday, but I'm glad to hear the vet found what caused it. A bra strap! Hope he recovers quickly!

Please keep us posted. Get well, Kfitzy!

SILLY KFITZI!! Bra straps a definate No-N o!! And they don't taste good either - do they?!!
So pleased he's coming home Efrat - looking at the time of your last post he'll be home in about an hour. Please give the lovely furboy a couple of nose kissies from me!
You can let him know that Diane's (my daughter) cat Tabitha has a favourite toy - it's one half of Diane's old bikini top!! She takes it everywhere with her - but doesn't eat it - so no more bra straps!!!

Well, a bra strap!! It never fails to amaze me what my dog will pick up and swallow and now a bra strap eating cat! I can see I am going to have to keep an eye on my kitty as well as my dog!
Seriously, poor Kfitzi, I am so pleased that the op went well and he will be back home with you soon and I hope he has a swift and full recovery. Give him a big kiss from me and please keep us posted.

Now that is a new one on me! I have never heard of a kitty eating such a thing as large as a bra strap. Kfitzi you silly..........
you have made everyone worry so much about you.

What did your vet say? I bet he was amazed too!

Thank goodness all will be well (except your bra, of course!)

Kfitzi is home now.
He's still very sleepy, we put him on a spare room with his litter box food and water... we'll try to give him some wet food later when he wakes up.

The strap was in his intestine, but the vet checked his stomache as well (we thought it was something else that he ate so he wanted to make sure there is nothing else there).

He should be better in a few days...

I'll attach the photo of the strap as an attachment so only those who want to see will see...
I'll try to show you the scar tomorrow.

Efrat - that is sooo frightening!! How could Kfitzi think that it would taste good!! Yuck!!

Congratulations for being such a good Mom and taking him in when you did. A couple of years ago our shelter adopted out a kitty to a forever home and 3 months later he ended up at the RB because he ate some string and it got caught in the intestine. It's truly amazing what kitties will eat!

Love and prayers on the way for a speedy recovery!

Good grief! so happy things ended well. What was Kfitzi thinking. A fettucini noodle perhaps! Yikes

[boscibo]

That is so scary. It is my worst nightmare my cats will eat something they find. I'm so glad he's doing better now.

[Nomilynn]

wow that strap would have made ME sick and I'm a lot bigger than a little kitty!!! I will also check to make sure I don't have stuff like that where it can be gobbled up. I don't use bras like that, but other things like plastic bag handles or strings or something like that could cause the same problem

Kfitzi - please feel all better soon!!

[sasvermont]

Oh my gosh, such a thing to eat. It doesn't even look apetizing so I wonder why he ate it! Can you imagine how long it took him to get the whole thing down? Probably the better part of a day or night!

I am so happy you found the problem and the Vet was able to save him.

One life down, and eight more to go!

One crazy kitty, for sure!

[jenluckenbach]

unbelievable !!!. I am glad all came out well. (oops, sorry for the pun) we are going to have to have a good talking to to that cat. STICK WITH THE CAT FOOD

[Karen]

Oh, Kfitzi, you are not the fashion police! No destroying evidence that way again, okay? It's amazing what animals will decide looks tasty, isn't it? Glad he's home, and we hope that he not only feels better soon, but that he learned a lesson, too! Ooouch!

[AdoreMyDogs]

My goodness, Kfitzi! I am so glad that you are better, but....a bra strap? You better stick to your kitty food, kid.

I am so glad that everything is OK with the silly kitty. Hopefully he has learned himself a little lesson!

[Steffi N]

Oh my, that strap is so long. Glad Kfitzi is better now.

[NoahsMommy]

Poor thing! Glad he's home and on his way to recovery. Kitties eat the wierdest things...
