Lupin’s could be right about the tastiness of spiders … One of my favorite sushi is the Spider Roll: a tempura-fried soft shell crab, rolled in rice and seaweed, with the legs sticking out in all directions …

Yesterday, I spoke of a cat my family used to have that loved to play with this plastic spider rings. Her trying to eat them was never a problem, though.
BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Lupin! You remind me so much of my late Sammy. She didn’t die from swallowing a spider, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. She was always willing to eat anything at all.
Woman, hearing yourself say those or similar words are how you know your metamorphosis is complete and despite your best intentions, you have now Officially Become Your Parent.
No worries, Mom, I have nine lives! Of course there may be some multi-thousand dollar trips the the emergency animal clinic in there, but I’m SO worth it!
A friend’s dog had to have surgery to remove a swallowed earring, but it was his lucky day—in the course of the surgery, a cancer was discovered and removed, which bought him a few more good years.
I had a cat who swallowed a large screw. The top was almost 3/4" in diameter plus the screw extension that was over 1/4" long. How he swallowed it without choking I’ll never know. I found out when he stopped eating and I took him to the Vet. After the xray showed the screw in his stomach, they operated and the screw was so deteriorated from the stomach acid. It must have been in there quite a while. I don’t know how he got through it.
Lupin’s grin of unbridled joy is priceless. It says it all! But I must agree with the Woman and censure our dear Cat of Adventure: “Would you please just try to live for once?!” Ah but you could say he IS living albeit on the edge. ;p
This is funny! And True! Oh, to know the joys of owning a cat. How many items I’ve successfully stopped them from swallowing. And they do fight you. I had a cat with pica that loved plastic — that was a challenge.
“Will you please just try to live for once!” This made me laugh. My gecko is like this. He’s named Loki after the Viking god of mischief, and I certainly named him right. He’s my adorable little pain.

No eating plastic!
But . . . it looks so tasty . . . maybe just once?

I guess we should consider ourselves warned, then! (Works for me – I’d prefer not to have anything spider-shaped in my home.)

Lupin is a symphony of pink today … tiny pink nose, huge pink tongue, and magnificent toe beans!!

Omc. Cats, dogs, babies and things that should not go in mouths. Poor Lupin I’m afraid that plastic spider might get stuck somewhere in him.

Human logic versus cat logic:
“If you swallow that thing, you will die.”
“There’s only one way to know for sure.”
My grandmother’s dog required surgery on two or three different occasions to remove inedible objects he had swallowed.
