Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2004Does your cat have a fascination with string?
I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that owns a cat that isn't attracted to string? My cat (Russian Blue) changes from tranquil to excited once that string is brought out. She's obsessed with putting it in her mouth, constantly making biting movements towards it. One time the string I was holding got away from me, and she quickly proceeded to devour it all. Where do cats get their obsession with string? Is it part of their DNA? I'd love it if there was a scientific explanation for this. == "Money will not make you happy, and happy will not make you money." -- Groucho Marx >I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that owns a >cat that isn't attracted to string?

It was impossible. All four cats were all over me. They haven't been that interested in crafts since I tried to sew pads for the cat carriers that were laced with catnip.

All of these items can be deadly. In fact, you mentioned that your cat "devoured" string. You are fortunate that it did not become twisted in her intestines. Watch these objects very carefully, and only have string or cord out for the cat to play when you are attached to the other end.

He is truly obsessed with dental hygiene as he will literally snatch the dental floss from my hands as I try to use it so intent is he on dental hygiene and the like. | My Siamese cross likes string but even more so he loves dental floss. | | He is truly obsessed with dental hygiene as he will literally snatch the | dental floss from my hands as I try to use it so intent is he on dental | hygiene and the like.

Now she's dead, and has a markedly decreased interest in string. Do you really think that is funny? : > I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that owns a : > cat that isn't attracted to string?

Please don't let your pets play with string, rubber bands, shoelaces, etc. I had a kitty chew a shoelace while we were asleep... we woke up and kitty was obviously sick lying on the cold basement floor. She died in the car on the way to the vet. > I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that owns a > cat that isn't attracted to string?

My cat is a reader. she is in any book, magazine or newspaper that i'm reading. :-D > I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there that owns a > cat that isn't attracted to string?

We had one of those infa-red light's and it's a brilliant game for the cats at night especially, lol. They chase it when I run it up the wall and all. That's Mischief's FAVORITE toy, a shoelace. Her eyes get all wide, I call it the bug-eyed look She also loves thread, especially when I'm cross stitching or sewing. Now since I work for a vet, I'm very careful to not leave them lying around. I once caught her playing with a length of thread and I took it away and said, "STOP THAT!! Do you know how much a bowel-obstruction operation costs???" Cheers, Kristi > Do you know how much a bowel-obstruction operation > costs???" Yeah, the same as one .22 caliber rifle shell. >> Do you know how much a bowel-obstruction operation >> costs???" > > Yeah, the same as one .22 caliber rifle shell. another ignorant redneck to send to my kill file. Keep your hatred to yourself. : > Do you know how much a bowel-obstruction operation : > costs???" : : Yeah, the same as one .22 caliber rifle shell. |
