Some cats love to play with string, yard, rope, twine, etc. They like to hit it back and forth when it’s strung from a poke or stick. They like to wrap it around their claws or send it flying across the room when rolled into a ball. Yarn is a common toy for cats, but did you know it’s not very safe? If you give your cat yarn to play with make sure you are right there to watch him while he plays with it. Cats unsupervised (and even supervised) can get into trouble with yarn. They can get the yarn wrapped around their neck accidentally. Cats can also ingest small pieces of yarn, which can be costly as surgery will most likely be needed to remove it and repair the intestines where it usually gets stuck.
