Cats are notoriously curious animals. They love to play with everything from actual cat toys, to cardboard boxes, to toilet paper. In this video, Cole and Marmalade demonstrate how cats play with Q-Tips, what the dangers of these tools are, and how to introduce safe alternatives.
It’s easy to see that Cole and Marmalade are OBSESSED with Q-Tips. Why they love these little cotton swabs so much is a mystery, but you’ve probably noticed the same fascination in your own cats. While these tiny tools may seem like a harmless toy, please recognize that they are actually very hazardous to cats.
Cats love to chew on them, making them a choking hazard. Cole and Marmalade’s owners suggest offering a Q-Tip shaped pillow toy like the one in the video as a safe alternative. They also advise supervising your cat as often as you can to ensure they’re not getting into anything that could potentially hurt them!
Play on, but remember to stay informed!
