From: "KellyH"
My cat Argyle died from swallowing fishing line when he was only 3 years old. We had no idea that he ate it until it was too late. He was hiding in my closet and very ill. Part of his intestine had to be removed, but he had developed a bad infection and died post-op. Granted, fishing line is a lot more likely to cut through something than a cotton string, but I would definitely err on the side of caution in this case. You are lucky that you saw your cat eat the string and can monitor her. We had no idea when Argyle ate the fishing line. Kelly, I am so sorry to hear about Argyle.

I think most of the times it comes out again "naturally" when my cat
ate 2 feet of dental floss it took some time to come out again (couple of days or so). When it eventually did show up it was hanging out of the cats butt and I pulled it out. I guess this is not recommended (didn't know that back then) but the piece of string sticking out of his butt didn't agree with my tomcats idea of what his butt looks is suppossed to look like and he went beserk trying to get it out himself. |

(...) Still waiting. Thanks for the followups. We've talked to our vet, and she says that as long as the cat is eating and pooping normally, and acting otherwise normally, that she will probably pass the string OK. I wonder if cotton string could actually become somewhat digested (unlike, say, baler twine)? Steve. |
