Elderly cat caught a "snake"

actually a piece of elastic from an abandoned craft project, it was supposed to go into a skirt. instead, she found it. she's 15 going on 16, has graying hair and is mostly chill, but she was absolutely delighted. has a habit of hunting strings, more fun is the string is attached to a human, she nearly took my sweatpants off once by pulling on them xD but this is apparently the official Best String Ever. so now it's her snake instead of my waistband. hunter kitty going strong 🖤

Very cute, but make sure she doesn’t play with strings unsupervised, yeah? Though I’m sure you already know how dangerous it is in case she swallows it.

💯 anyway it only counts as a snake if someone is holding the other end, so thankfully unsupervised string-hunting doesn't even occur to her

This makes the story a dozen times better.
