Have you ever one of those experiences that make you wonder? 

Yesterday I was cruising around the house looking for something to chew and came across a rubber hair band.  Lord knows why but it looked like something to eat - welllll - it got caught in my throat and I couldn't get it out - was death/choking nearby - I tried to cough it up but it wouldn't move and tried to scratch it out with my back legs - like that would do any good -

Fortunately one of the humans about the house heard me gagging on this thing and stuck his finger in my mouth and pulled this thing out - not sure which was worse - chocking on the rubber band or his finger in my mouth - but at least I'm around for another day of sleeping, eating and dreaming about that big pile of catnip!

Moral of the story - never bite off more than you can chew or - if it doesn't look like food - it probably isn't!
