Alrighty, this was just bound to happen. Rob's mom put tinsel on the tree (for the first time in a long time, of course), and we have two 20-week old kittens in the house who get into everything and anything. We noticed Katina has tinsel hanging from her butt (Ironic, the Xmas card I sent my parents said "It doesn't feel like Christmas until the cat starts passing tinsel".)
I've read before in the various cat books that this is not a good thing, since tinsel, ribbon, string, etc. can wrap around in intestines and whatnot. We were wondering if we should see if she poops it out (although we don't know if she ate more or not. We got his parents to take the tinsel off the tree, although his mom made a huge deal about it
Kitten's welfare comes first!) or if we should bring her to the vet in the AM.
And she is definitely not the one I expected to be eating it, Monte usually gets into anything that moves. No tinsel-butt for him yet, and hopefully not at all.
