i think my wife's cat swallowed her wedding ring.

here is my game plan:

i made a vet appointment for 5 pm.
i am going to run home early, and take out my flashlight, and search the house high and low.
i am taking a rebar locator home, and i am going to run it over the cat. i have this tool:



i can clutch a paper clip in my fist, and the detector can "see" it. (the cat is going to kill me.) if it beeps, i will make the appointment, and pony up my money to get the cat X-rayed. then stock up with latex gloves for the "mining expedition".
i heard the cat, batting about something metallic. she ate a hairtie, i bet she swallowed the ring.

stupid cat.

Kung Pao Kitty!

Just kidding, don't eat it. I have a buddy with a fighting Pit Bull that can use the exercise.

Just kidding about that too. Hope you find the ring!

Make sure your "detector" will work on the kind of metal the ring is made from....might be better to keep the cat in the house until it passes the ring. If it goes outside, you'll never find it.

Exactly, just keep the cat confined, you'll eventually get the ring back, au natural.

Well, it is an Asian cat.

No swallowed items, but plenty coming up the other way if I don't keep combing.

Not your cat, not your ring, not your problem, go back to work on the car!

If you are squeamish one of those Florida guys on the board is into killing harmless pets.




Seriously, unless it is an outdoor cat it sounds like you have a good plan.

Let the Cat's spouse deal with it, not you! Who would marry a cat, anyway?

Can of Tuna and pint of mineral oil mixed up well you should have the ring in an hour or 2.

Put a screen over the litter Box

There you guys go putting the pussy on a pedastal again........

For the cats sake I would be more concerned with the hairtie, stuff like that can knot up their intestines and kill them.....so if that happens before the ring comes out you know what to do
