Cats, like the Manx, are often associated with a variety of things that they don’t necessarily enjoy or things that aren’t very safe for cats to be playing with. One of those things is yarn. For instance, your Manx probably enjoys playing with balls of yarn and string because of the texture and movement of the material. However, many experts recommend that cat owners do not allow their cat to play with a ball of yarn especially if that cat is not supervised. Yarn can be dangerous for our Manx and other cat friends. If digested, the yarn can create a blockage in the cat’s throat or intestines. Your Manx can also get entangled in the yarn or string and accidentally strangle himself. If your cat swallows string or yarn call your veterinarian right away. For additional information talk with your veterinary clinic Mt. Pleasant, SC.
