Yarn is often portrayed as a favorite toy of most felines including the Persian breed. However, cats that play with yarn should always be supervised. Never leave your Persian alone with a ball or spool of yarn. Contrary to popular belief, yarn is not one of the best toys for kittens or grown cats no matter what breed they are. Experts believe that yarn can actually be a dangerous item for cats to be around or to be playing with. For instance if yarn is digested, the yarn can create a blockage in your Persian cat’s throat or intestines. Your Persian could also get tangled up in the string and accidently strangle himself or even break or sprain a foot or his tail. If your Persian swallows yarn or gets caught up in the yarn give your pet clinic Georgetown IN a call. Even if your cat appears to be OK, your vet may want to check her out just in case.
