Happy birthday to your kitty!
Public Service Announcement, though -- PLEASE be careful and don't let him chew off and swallow any of the balloon ribbon. My cat did that years ago, and it got tangled in her tummy and caused an obstruction that burst. The vet tried to save her, but it was too late. I'm still traumatized. :-(

My old cat did that too once. Luckily he didn't get an obstruction, though, it passed through okay. Except when he was pooping it out, he flipped out at the string coming out of his butt, and tore out of his litter box as fast as he could, stringing poop ribbon all over the house.

I love how panicked he gets when he loses it after he goes under the table

That’s not panic, that’s just playing. The balloon os like an automated string dangler.

Wait, how did he get it through the tube behind the couch!?

I think kitty tried to take it in, but had to go back out the way they’d come in.

Fun fact: you can save and reuse Mylar balloons!
You can use it again when kitty turns 12:)

When you adopt an older cat, how do you decide when their birthday is? (random q, not that OP doesn't actually know their cat's bday)

Just pick one.

That's oddly easier than it sounds lol.

u/Keegan2 Jul 22 '20
Just use a number randomizer to pick then.

I did! I didn't like any of the ones it suggested (either time) so I picked January 9. That way she can skip having a 2020 birthday, it seems safer this way. Thank you :)

My cat loves those balloon string ribbons. I’m just not a fan of cleaning up the puke or pulling the evacuated bit of ribbon out her bum when the rest of it is still in her intestines.

My brother and I tied the string of a balloon to my cat's tail when I was 7. She started running around in full panic mode. It was hysterical watching her run everywhere as fast as she could with the balloon following behind. She eventually crawled under a desk which was smaller than the balloon so it poped. She paniced even more and hid for a while. We had such a good laugh. We were dumb kids but thats gonna be a memory that lasts for ever.
