WATCH YOUR KITTY
Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Omaha World-Herald and would like to share this hint. I learned a scary (and expensive) lesson when I wasn’t watching my kitty, Sophie. Cats love yarn, ribbon and twine. It took her just a couple of minutes of inattention to eat 2 yards of twine. Two trips to an urgent pet care, two more to the vet, then Mother Nature finally took care of the problem. I now keep anything long and stringy (even dental floss!) out of Sophie’s way. Thank you. -- H.R., Omaha, Nebraska
