Last night Mosi chewed through the string on da bird and swallowed a large portion of it. He's vomited up the clip and a small section of the thread this morning but that's all. I can't find the rest of the string anywhere so he must have eaten it. He's at the vets now and they are going to operate on him to remove it as it's such a long piece. Please send vibes for him to get well and come home to his meowmy very soon. I'm worried sick about him.

Anyone who has a da bird - please be very careful not to leave it lying around. I know most of us don't leave those sort of toys lying around in case they get tangled up in them, but it never occurred to me he would chew through it so easily and swallow it. I was only in another room and it happened very quickly so make sure those da birds are put away as soon as supervised play time is over.

Oh good grief, poor Mosi. Hope his surgery goes well and he has a quick recovery. Safe surgery vibes to him and calm vibes to you, you must be beside yourself with worry

Oh no!!!!
I took a picture only last night of whats left of the feathers on Jack's because he's totalled it!. And just the other day he dragged it from under the sofa and carried the whole thing, rod and everything upstairs into my bedroom


I really hope everything goes ok with Mosi, which i've no doubt it will, but thanks for the warning.

Mosi sweetie here's some healthy healing coming over.

Keep us updated

Oh poor Mosi
Here's some that he'll come out fine and think twice next time he sees some yummy string


Da Bird is a great toy, but this is a reminder to us all that any string toy shouldn't be left unattended. My two also have to be watched around shoe laces and anything with fringe.

Oh, why oh why do they want to chew string!!?

Poor Mosi!!! Hopefully he feels better soon.


I've had errr. the cats Da Bird fall apart before. I noticed that the hook thing is something that is swallowable and usually pick it up if its still attached to the feathers.

Prayers and healing vibes for Mosa coming your way.

We keep all "string" toys in a drawer and only get them out for supervised play. Your experience is a good warning about what can happen quickly!

Vibes for Mosi
That's why I have to hide mine in the bathroom. Otherwise Bob will drag it everywhere.

I hope Mosi is ok now. They can get themselves into trouble so darn quickly.

Oh no! Poor Mosi, silly kitty! String is no good for kitty bellies!


Lots of that he recovers easily and that he never does such a silly thing again!

The vet has rang and I can go and collect him at 5.30pm
they didn't find any string inside him but his intestines were inflamed and enlarged as were his lymph nodes. So there's been something there but it's now either vomited up or passed out the other end. I've just found another small piece of string in one of the places he vomited this morning, but there's still a very long length unaccounted for (about 20"). I just hope it's not lying around somewhere where he'll find it and eat it. I've searched the flat and cant find it anywhere.

I keep da bird and toys like that in the food cupboard and usually put them away as soon as the game is finished. But we just paused for breath last night and I left it lying on the floor. Mosi was getting his breath back in the hallway and it never occurred to me he would actually chew throught the string while my back was turned. I should know better - this is Mosi we're talking about!
