Have you ever watched cartoons or read a comic strip about a cat that loves to play with yarn or other types of string? This is a pretty common misconception when it comes to cats. Many of us have grown up assuming cats can play with yarn but it’s not actually safe for them. Here’s why. In general, most cats enjoy playing with balls of yarn and string because of the texture and movement of the material. However, many experts recommend that you do not allow your Maine Coon or any other cat play with a ball of yarn unless he is supervised. Yarn can be dangerous for cats both young and old. If digested, the yarn can create a blockage in the cat’s throat or intestines. Your cat can also get entangled in the yarn or string and accidentally strangle himself. If your cat swallows string or yarn call your vets Davie, FL immediately. Schedule an appointment today!
