- I thought rubber bands were a definite no-no. And the same goes for
- twist-ties (you mean those short, sharp wires covered with paper or plastic
- that you get at the supermarket, right?)
-
- On a related note, those plastic bag-closure items (often found on bread
- loaves at the supermarket, with a price on them sometimes) are dangerous
- to animals AND HUMANS. I mean the flat, plastic squares about 1" big.
- Apparently, they sometimes get made into sandwiches
- by accident and eaten, then they can clamp onto the inside of the intestine.
- Ouch! Now if I buy something that has that type of closure, I throw it away
- immediately. If I don't, it always seems to disappear anyway. Where do they
- all go?
-
- Those wire twist-ties do seem to hold a fascination for my cats. They are
- mesmerized and MUST have them if they ever do fall on the floor.
-
- I mainly use clothespins for everything now. And they do make a great
- cat toy.
-
- My cats also like hazelnuts in the shell. They will fish them out of the
- bowl to play soccer with. Makes a loud noise on our hardwood floor which,
- I'm sure, annoys the downstairs neighbor! The cats will tire of one nut
- and fish for another one (they all look the same to me, but hey, I'm only
- human!) until they empty the bowl.
