DANGER! kitties love to eat rubber bands, and that can mean death.
She’s absolutely adorable! However, you should never, ever let cats or kittens play with rubber bands — they can be fatal if swallowed! Better to get them the ponytail hairbands (the thicker ones) for them to play with, or else take a piece of thick shoestring, cut it, tie a double knot in the ends to make a circle and let her play with that. It’s best to not let them get used to wanting to play with rubber bands at all!
The above ladies are correct. This rubber band can kill her, and none of us want that. I’m concerned about the shoestring, etc. Just a piece of string or ribbon can do the same. I read that the curling ribbon is finished with something cats like, so they delibertly eat it. All this can get the intestines all tangled up! It’s so cute-and potentially lethal.
