OUCH!!! Mep was taken to his vet for not eating and they thought he had eaten some yarn. He was very crabby but it turns out he had a very good reason. He apparently decided to eat sewing thread with the needle still attached. The needle was actually sticking up through his tongue. Fortunately our doctor was able to remove the needle and the string was short. Too often we see cats who have eaten string and then need a major abdominal surgery to remove it from the intestines. If you love to sew, and you have a cat, keep the thread out of reach at all times!
