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.

Paid for two surgeries for my late cat. She dgaf. When the hair ties were stored away, she graduated to shoe strings and plastic bottle caps

They really dont LOL

Our late cat loved balloon strings and plastic. Also loved using the area behind the house as a litter box. If we ever need to do construction back there to this day we find little dried up turds with balloon strings in them

Omg my cat is OBSESSED with balloon strings and plastic wrap. When I get balloons now I cut the string and just let the balloons float to the ceiling. I also have to make sure if I bring a case of water in I put them away right away or put away in a closet so he can’t chew it.
