kolohe's fetish...

kolohe has a fetish with string and ribbon... he likes to eat it whole or at least half of it... fortunately he barfs it up before it becomes a problem... a thousand dollar problem... one time my son was really mad at kolohe because he ate the string to his yo-yo... i told him that he couldn't leave stringy stuff around because kolohe finds it too tempting!

a few weeks ago, he wasn't feeling well... he was hiding and just being quiet... he was still eating and drinking though, so i thought him hiding was just because he didn't want to be bothered by prada... 

then one day he barfed... and my husband said that there was something red in it... i thought that it may be blood... he said no... it was like string or ribbon... and i said it couldn't be because i put up his toy that has strings and ribbons attached to it... he's only allowed to play with that toy under supervision... then we thought he was eating easter basket grass... so i grabbed some pink colored grass and showed it to my husband, asking him if that was what he saw... he said that it was darker, like maroon colored... i hadn't the faintest idea of what he could've ate... 

then, we found it... the cats have one of those crinkly tunnels to play in (prada enjoys it way more than kolohe)... and to store it, there are strings to tie it up with... kolohe had eaten almost every one of those strings... 

here is how long the string originally was:

a good shot of all strings half-eaten:

still couldn't believe how much he chewed off and ingested:

one last picture for memories:

i cut off the remaining pieces... hopefully he won't find anything else similar to chew on.... i guess i should start buying him his kitty grass again...
