    Black cat 'Mamba' gets sick from mysterious illness, his pawrents find out that he swallowed over 100 hair ties and needed surgery, and is now recovering with love: 'LOCK UP YOUR HAIR TIES'

    Cats are mischievous little buggers, aren't they? They're always finding something new to nom on, and when we finally get them to stop chewing on our headphones cord, they move on to something else. Then it's toilet paper. Then it's the plastic rings that come attached from the bottle cap. And then, we move on to the final boss of cat chews… hair ties. You have a million of them lying around your house… or do you? Better go check because, as we learned from the story below, they can cost you a pretty penny at the vet's office!

    Meet Mamba, our fuzzy friend below. This gorgeous voidling started by playing with his momma's hair ties, and then moved on to saving them for a snack. He got sick and they couldn't figure out why, until they found out that he had eaten over 100 hair ties and needed surgery. Luckily, they caught it in time and now he's out of surgery and recovering in the arms of his pawrents, filled with love. 

    Those little stretchy circles may not be as harmless as you think. Learn from Mamba and keep your hair ties and strings locked up and away from your kitties!
