Yesterday we found out the hard way that Truls likes to eat strings...! He tried to but couldn't go to the loo to do #2. So we figured that he was constipated and I gave him liquid paraffin. But in vain. Nothing happend in the loo. The vet told us to give him the enema. Have you ever tried to give a cat enema??? Well, it's not a walk in the park... But we succeded after a while and Truls was quite chocked, poor guy. But after five minutes he rushed to the loo and did #2. And out came 30 cm of string (from a toy).
So from now on all string toys are locked in a box and we only play with them when a human is around. And all other toys are removed from their tails and other string-like things. Just to be on the safe side!
