145.0. "rabbits feet" by WMOIS::RIVETTS_P () Mon Jan 20 1992 09:48

         My cat loves those rabbits feet you buy in the stores, like for
    good luck.  Problem is she actually eats them.  Can that stuff they
    are made of hurt her?
    
         She really loves them.  When we give her one, she runs through the
    house and won't let anyone touch her.  She will grawl at anyone that
    tries to take it away.  She runs down the cellar and plays and plays.  
    Eventually she settles down and leaves it where ever she stops playing.
     
    	Hopefully the stuff its made of won't hurt her.

145.1	not the best idea	WR1FOR::WILDEDI		`Mon Jan 20 1992 11:08`	4
	the skin and fur can become an intestinal blockage if swallowed in big chunks...the cat is responding to the "leather", which is actually skin...I would not recommend allowing your cat to eat these things. Better to buy a cat toy that cannot be eaten for your cat to play with.

	One of mine does the same thing with the furry mice - he'll play with it then drag it off to a secret place and proceed to chew the furr off it. What we find is the plastic shell and the eyes and ears. We've been keeping a close eye on him and snatch it up when he starts to walk away with it. I'm sick of furr vomit and I'm sure he is too.

145.3	rabbit foot killer	PARITY::DENISE	And may the traffic be with you	`Mon Jan 20 1992 13:57`	10
	My Tabby used to do this. Everytime I went up to the gift shops in the White Mtns. I would have to bring a rabbits foot home for him. He would savagely growl and attack it, until there was nothing but shreads left. I only let him play with undyed natural ones. I don't know about now, but 15-17 years ago, the dyed ones would run if they got covered with cat drool. He never ate any of it, just crunched those little rabbit foot bones,........well he enjoyed it, what can you say. Denise

	Yep.....I have a rabbits foot keychain.....and my two Korats know it! I constantly have to hunt for my car keys, because they open my purse to get the keychain! (:

	I thought this was about the feet of cats and not real rabbits feet that are used for keychains. Ugh... Though since this is noted as Rabbits Feet I did want to mention that I think Anastacia is part Rabbit. Her hind legs are like rabbits and a friend of mine told me she leaped like a rabbit. Maybe I should have named her Bugs........
