Hello everyone,
Yesterday my cat ate a big peice of string, he staring acting funny (tired, not licking anything, no food, pucking) so we took him to the hospital and they put him on IV and gave him anasthetic. Then they cut a peice of string that was attached to his tounge but they wern't able to pull it out, so today we took him back and all day he has been sitting there,not eating, not interacting with us and he has his mouth open. Please someone help
Sorry to hear it. Unless there's a vet here, though, you've already taken him to the people that can help. If you're not satisfied that they fixed him, take him back. And good luck.
animals have more acids in their stomachs than we do. (usually) hopefully the string starts dissolving. hey, my chihuahua/weiner swallowed a fishing hook 3 years ago. we figured he was gunna die soon. that little f---er is still here lol

Sometimes it takes time to recover from surgical procedures. If you cat hasn't started returning to normal in 24 hours, take it back to the vet. Did they give you any instructions for after care?
he will pass it. Mt puppy once ate a full chicken wing that had fallen on the floor. He was in discomfort for a day or two until he passed the bone. The vet said it just takes time.

Sell it to a Chinese take-out place while it's still fresh. Use the money to buy beer.

Boooo, had a feeling a Chinese joke was going to pop its head in a thread about a cat/dog. You eat just as much, if not worse foods than that and you probably don't even know it. Ever wonder how long your dairy or frozen product sits at room temperature before it gets stocked?

no, I don't wonder that. If it tastes good, I'll eat it.
.22 rounds are the cheapest. I would not waste any type of more expensive ammunition on a cat. Just my preference, though. If you go ahead and use a .38 or .357, no one will fault you for it.

ok
Question one why are you asking for help on an mma website? You will pretty much only get the responses you have gotten so far.
What kind of string? Nylon? Hemp? Cotton?
Is your cat an indoor only or do you let it go outside?
Try feeding him grass. When cats ingest raw grass, they often vomit afterward. Although this may seem like a bad thing, vomiting actually acts as a laxative, aiding in bowel movements and regurgitation. Often, outdoor cats eat small animals like birds and rodents. Because cats cannot separate the meat from the indigestible bones and fur, they eat grass to help regurgitate these harmful elements before they pass through the body.
If all that fails and you don't wanna spend the money on a .22, I recommend luring in a neighborhood cat and tying both their tails together with rope. Then throw both of them over a clothes line so the hang from about the same height.
While talking to the vet plus going to a pet-advice site would be more helpful, I don't see why a lot of you guys have to be assholes about this.
A person wouldn't seek advice if they didn't care about their pet.
