Hi all!! This question has been in the back of my mind, faaaaarr back, and growing closer and bigger. It’s finally within my reach – so here goes!
MANY years ago, I was on my own with my soul sister Obsidian. I had one if those cat fishing rods, and came home to realize the closet door had come open, and she’d chewed and possibly chowed a length of line that had been dangling without a toy attached. In an absolute panic, I called my vet at the time. She told me that, if it was a short length, like, less than the length of the cat’s intestines, I had nothing to worry about. The reasoning was that it needed to make it out one end, while still being at least close to the other end, to pose danger to the cat. Now, in the comments here, it’s been slowly sinking into this addlepated brain (anyone else recognize “addlepated”? Did I spell it correctly?) that there seems to be lots and lots of concern regarding even foot long lengths, even with no needles or pokie things attached!
Would the Orb please, please educate me? Just how long (or short) does a string or floss have to be, to be a danger for a cat to ingest??
