To
avoid cats ingesting potentially
harmful items in the first place, iCatCare advises owners to: keep wool, sewing cotton and other sewing materials out of reach; ensure that cat toys are strong enough to withstand rough play and dispose of any with weak seams or leaking contents; make sure bins are covered to
avoid cats foraging for bones or the string around meat; encourage children to put away their toys after use; provide indoor cats with plenty of stimulation and well - made toys; and remove any non-suitable
item from your cat straightaway before it is ingested and causes a problem.
