Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2003update on Jack's swallowed toy
About 15 minutes ago, I stepped away from the Monday Night Football game (which the Bucs seem determined to give away) for a few moments, and when I returned there was a small but grotesque puddle in the hall off my living room. Promiently featured in it was a much-abused segement of multicolored Cat Charmer fabric. In short, Jack barfed it up, so the crisis is over. At no point did his eating and drinking vary from his normal pattern, so it didn't bother his tummy too much. He gave Rizzo a marathon grooming session earlier this afternoon, which may have prompted the "video return", as it were. On the rare occasion Jack gets a hairball, it's always Rizzo's fur that causes it. Rizzo never gets hairballs, interestingly enough. > About 15 minutes ago, I stepped away from the Monday Night Football game > (which the Bucs seem determined to give away) for a few moments, and when I > returned there was a small but grotesque puddle in the hall off my living > room.

That's a relief! :)) Few things make me worry more than a cat swallowing something that could become a linear foreign body.

In short, Jack barfed it up, so the crisis is over. Yay! That's great news :) I remember my cat Mickey ate the back end of one of those furry mouse toys, including the tail, which consisted of about 4 inches of fur adhered to leather/rawhide. We were about to take him to the emergency clinic when he passed it via projectile diarrhea. Needless to say, no more furry mice in this house.

Kimba apparently got in, and thought they looked interesting... This was a cat whose favorite food was cheddar popcorn... He ate anything and everything. He had a kind of sad beginning .He had been living with a family for a year when they had a baby and got rid of him. We got him at a shelter that is really a private house just filled with cats. He was living in the basement for about a year because he didn't get along well with the other cats. He was one of the most fantastic cats I ever had (he passed away two years ago of IBD) but he always seemed to feel that he needed to eat everything in sight. He did weigh about 19 pounds...

All white with green eyes and he was tall and big boned (in addition to having an amazing appetite...). Wish he was with us longer (only about 7 years).

We have to be really careful about rubber bands. Bootsie will eat them. Also she tries to eat straight pins if I'm sewing -- tries to pull them out of the fabric. I can't sew at all unless she is occupied elsewhere or alseep. Sherry I wonder what attracts them to odd things like nickels, or straight pins...? :) Judy F > >>From: "Judy F" xphile01@catlover.com > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Sherry Maybe because they are shiny.

We have to be really careful >about rubber bands. Bootsie will eat them. Now rubber bands is something that has to be kept away from my cat Mickey. He can smell them a mile away. Even when I buy brocolli that comes with the rubber band around it, he finds it immediately in the bag of groceries. >Also she tries to eat straight pins >if I'm sewing -- tries to pull them out of the fabric. I can't sew at all >unless she is occupied elsewhere or alseep. Eeks! Now that would be scary.
