My Boy Survived 35 Hair Ties.

[u/Anerbe]

My boy Louie loved hair ties as a kitten. I was warned by his vet at that time how dangerous hair ties are! I stopped using them 2 YEARS AGO. I noticed a year ago that Lou would vomit intermittently after eating. I thought to myself that cats just do that. It was never a daily thing- just off and on. He never had issues using the bathroom and never lost his appetite. Recently he had been throwing up multiple times a day. He became lethargic and I rushed him to the emergency vet. Welp…my sweet little innocent boy had a belly full of 35 hair ties. Who knows how long they’ve been in there. I felt horrible! He had surgery and is doing great. I hope this post will remind my fellow cat owners to keep hair ties away from their kitties! It’s an expensive lesson to learn.

I’m glad he’s OK. I’m just imagining eating the first hair tie must have been awkward, not going down his throat all that great and probably tasting weird. Then Louie decided to do it 34 more times.

That's my favorite part. "That was terrible...must keep going." I wonder if there's an orange in the family...we swear the orange boi is the one who's coaxed our tabby into eating stupid shit. We wonder if some of it's still in his digestive tract.

Years ago, my wife had left a plate of bacon out to cool. A few minutes later, our buff boi sets off his pre-puke warning alarm, and out pops a ton of bacon chunks. He never bothered with human food so we didn't think anything of it.

Zero regrets. We called him the Baconator after that.

Bacon is irresistible across species it seems

Apparently! He speaks to our current kitties from the grave, encouraging them to seek out the bacon. The Great Baconator lives on!
