I have a cat that eats things he shouldn't. First time I have ever had a cat that did that. It took a while for me to realize that he was eating things like thread and lace. One time, he had a bit of lace sticking out of his butt ! Luckily, he hasn't had a real issue with anything he managed to eat. One time he was throwing up all around the house and needed some supplemental fluids but it cleared up.

Okay, I have to finally comment on Sally, my coon hound from hell. Rescued from pound at one year of age.
Items she has destroyed too numerous to mention but one stands out in my mind.

Picture one of those expensive wonder foam cervical pillows. Ahh, she loved to tear it to shreds (she loves stuffing) so I bought a new one. She destroyed it..... So I bought another new one and left it in the box and in the bathtub. Yep, she found it and destroyed it while it was still in the box. Bad girl... We love her but if she is inside and we are gone she has to be crated. I was scared that I would come home and find my leather sofa in shreds. She also did some minor damage to my pillow top mattress.

There aren't, but it is well-known amongst the tiger community that Swedes are best served "raw".

If anybody needs a paper shredder I can give you one free of charge. Well, you will have to feed her.

My wife cooed about finally landing the pair of sandals she longed for. She left them out and within 24 hours they were gone, bitten in half by our puppy, aka "Jaws".

My dog ate my mask.TWICE.First time he chewed some of gel around the upper nose area.Ordered a new mask but was still able to wear mask with a pretty good seal.So 2 days later he decides to chew off the plastic piece wear you clip the headgear into.So im in Canada and took about 6 or 7 days to get the new mask.Moral of story:get a new dog.Naw just kidding,but i have three masks now just in case he gets hungry for plastic again.

I'm actually more worried about the hose. I'm afraid she will chew a hole which might go undetected but lead to a loss of pressure. I need to keep checking the hose for possible leaks but I forget.
