    Strongly regretting having got rid of my old ps2 years ago. Maybe I should buy another one to watch dvds and play games. Just not sure if they’re compatible with modern tvs.

    I’m not really savvy about tvs

    Edit:

    Need to babyproof the house

    Melbcat just tried to eat a long loose thread dangling from the doona. I heard her chewing weird, pulled the wadded thread out of her mouth immediately and called the emergency vet who said it didn’t warrant bringing her in because it wasn’t swallowed.

    She seems fine and drank some water without problems. So thankful. But I think I scraped her little mouth or throat, seems sore so will call the normal vet when they open.

    That a-hole piece of thread is in the bin now. I pulled all of the other horizontal stitch lines out of the Kmart doona and binned them too because the ends hadn’t been sewn in to secure them and some of them were also coming loose.

    I saw the thread but didn’t expect that. Any other thread and yarn has now gone into a plastic box with a lid. 🧿

      You’re good hon, its only a concern if swallowed because it could potentially knot up and block the long complicated spaghetti machinery that resides within yon puss. Usually when I catch our buggers doing that it means they want more grass or a chew stick, I don’t think you hurt her mouth if shes drinking and using it like normal.

        I managed to pull it out with slight resistance so it’s possible it started to go down her throat and I slightly hurt her. There was soreness but she’s eating and drinking so that’s good

      Alfie did similar with tinsel.

      I once used a tinsel wall (so long strands of tinsel) to do some Christmas photos and turned my back on Alfie for one moment. Heard some weird chewing, turned back and sure enough he’s chewing the tinsel. I grabbed it and started pulling it out of this month… and kept pulling… and kept pulling. I can’t believe how fast he managed to gobble it down!! Absolute buggers!
