The wrong kind of lollipop (do NOT read if of a sensitive stomach)
Le sigh. Again. This is sort of funny but is actually serious and could well mean bad things to my boys if we were not so lucky.
Yesterday I used some cotton buds and discarded them in the bathroom bin. Came home and found the bin overturned and two of the four cotton buds chewed to scraggly bits. Cleared up and didn't think more of it apart from "I won't do that again".
Picked up Dicky this morning to get him out of the TV room before I went to work to find a big lump on his breeches. Big hairball I thought. Wrong. Big lump of poo with a chewed and passed through cotton-bud attached. A sort of scary lollipop that seemed to have safely gone all the way through without any immediate effects except for sticking to his hair.
This has me obviously concerned as to where the 4th one is, and I will - you can ber certain - keep an active eye out for it from all of them tonight, but they did all seem normal and chirpy and active with appetites, so I am hoping they are just treated as a bone by their relatively short digestive systems.
Nervous laughter... and some worry - but I think it'll be ok.

Oops... I can understand you're a bit nervous. Hopefully the 4th cotton bud will show up somewhere underneath furniture, so you'll have peace of mind.
I once found a thin twig sticking out of a turd in the litter box... someone had been munching twigs in the garden.

For whatever reason, both of our boyz luv cotton buds. They seem to love everything that can get them into trouble (plastic bags, twist ties, drinking straws, strings/dental floss). Evidence of them eating some of these things have turned up in the cat box. We've resorted to securing our cabinet doors where the waste bins are located. We're still not certain who's teaching who, but they both get into trouble regularly (1 MC, 1 DMH).

Could have been worse.................poor Roxy had got messy knickerbockers one time and as I went to clean her with wipes I notice a piece of grass, pulled it thinking it was in her fur to discover it was half pooped out................my poor little princess let out a cry and I felt so awful but it has not stopped her chewing grass in the garden!!

We bought a lovely glass clock in the shape of a fat ginger cat when on holiday in Cornwall last year. Within days of putting it up, someone (Moonlight I suspect!) had bent the second hand. Came home later to find the same hand on the floor and mangled! It still worked without it so we thought 'never mind'! A few days later both the other hands disappeared - we've yet to find them! I worried a lot as they were metal...maybe they're stashed away with the other things we've lost since bringing the 3 little darlings into our house!!!!
Needless to say we now have no clock in the lounge! Or ornaments...! And you can't leave magazines or letters lying around for fear of them being chewed/eaten/stolen!
Hope the cotton buds turn up, yuk!
