Well, my day was going nice and quiet today...till I heard my 16 year old holler...'mom, Bootsie swallowed a needle'!
OMG!
Kaitlyn (daughter) was sewing and stuck the needle in what she was sewing to go and do something and she turned around just in time to see the cat pull the needle out of the fabric and eat it! Can you imagine?
I called hubby at work immediately and he came home and rushed Kate and
the cat to the vet. I had visions of the worst case scenario...xrays, surgery, etc., etc., and all the money it would require.
Thankfully, though, the needle lodged in the cat's mouth and the vet was able to retrieve it easily. Bootsie is doing fine. (Vet charged 60.00 to remove the needle....better than the thousands for surgery, that's for sure, but still alot!!)
I can't imagine why the cat would do something like that!! We sew so much around here...I guess we're going to have to be even more careful where we leave the needles and pins...
