My orange tabby loves killing hair ties and I've never read an explanation on why lil guys love those things. Strings and mouse-like toys I get, but hair ties?
Not to be a huge buzzkill — I have to tell you, I am a captioner for TV, and I have captioned the TV shows about veterinarians needing to remove hair ties from cats and… it’s something to be very proactive against, from the footage I have seen.
Not to take this hugely offline (and good info about the hair ties), but since you're a captioner can you explain this, coz it feels like CNN feeding subliminal messaging to the hearing impaired/sports bar demographic.
That’s just garbling from translating using voice recognition software. They’re captioning live on-air using software and humans who literally type 140-200 words A MINUTE, and it’s always loaded with mistakes.
It was a joke, dude. No offense intended to the many fine super typists who do this work. It just struck me as funny while I was on the elliptical. But that may have been the result of a lack of oxygen.
Same with pieces of string. People let their cats play with things that they would immediately take away from a small child. Cats are really small children dressed in fur. They should be treated as such.
They’re too smart for their own good too. One of my cats loves to get a hold of my pill organizer and knock it off of my desk and scatter the pills everywhere. He’s not the one that ate the hair ties though lol
Just make sure he doesn’t eat them. One of my cats was sneakily eating them, and eventually it caused a blockage in her stomach, and she had to have surgery to remove it. I feel the need to warn anyone that lets their cats play with hair ties because of my trauma.
My Huey Hefner would play fetch with them! Never eating them as I’ve seen some comments warning about! It must of been a huge vet bill & scary for the fur baby parents!😳😢
He’d drop one on my lap or feet waiting for me to toss it! It’s funny seeing a cat do a dog thing! 😂🤣
Hamilton's favorite thing was to play with hair ties, then eat it, then vomm it up afterwards. One of the dumbest animals ever to live and I loved him with my whole heart.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

It’s not what I do.
I’d be super paranoid as an owner re hair ties.

Adorable mess.
For biting off mouse heads
He really looks like a different little guy these days
