You may have observed your cat engaging in less-than-desirable behaviors around your home due to everyday boredom. Our cats are experts at seeking and finding food, but as domesticated animals, the challenge is merely to roll over and amble up to their food dish.

While sparing them the need to go hunting and foraging for their meals, you still can help your cat to exercise his/her problem-solving instincts with the popular Stimulo Cat Feeding Station and Activity Center
. Food is hidden inside the bowl's many tubes, which your cat can access by using their paws.

Cats seem to be fascinated with anything long and thin, and many of us give them string and twine to play with. But according to Cats and Linear Foreign Bodies - String, Thread, Ribbon, and the Like | Pet MD | Dr. Lorie Huston an unsupervised cat can actually swallow these "linear foreign bodies" which are particularly hazardous.
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is certainly true when it comes to cats and linear foreign bodies.
If you use toys
containing string, yarn, twine or fishing wire (such as cat wands
) to entertain your cat, supervise your cat during play and lock the toys securely away when you are unavailable to supervise.
Be sure to keep sewing boxes, craft kits and other items that contain string, twine, yarn, fishing wire, rubber bands, and similar objects locked away from your cat also.
If you do find your cat with string hanging from your pet's mouth or anus, the vet cautions to not pull on the string or otherwise attempt to remove it, as it may be attached somewhere along the intestinal tract.
To be on the safe side, best to keep an eye on your cat when he/she is playing with toys
