Cats love to swallow string, tinsel, etc - and it can be fatal. My little darling found a cassette tape and unrolled and swallowed almost half of it. $2500 later - after a midnight run to the ER with surgery and intensive care - she's fine. I've learned to be VERY careful with string toys.
I had wondered about the product's safety, but swallowing the string never occurred to me. I was wondering if cats could get their paws pinched in the retrieval mechanism.
