One of the highlights of my childhood was getting to watch my mom pull ribbon out of "my" first cat (18 pound orange tabby with extra toes, I'll get pictures of him eventually) and no, it was not out of his mouth. Ribbon, floss, tinsel, anything that had that kind of waxy coating? Yeah, he went after it. I remember putting tinsel on the Christmas tree after he died (during the Blizzard of 96, by the way. Great time for him to have a heart attack, right?) and the new kittens decided to go after it too. I don't think I've seen a box of tinsel in the house in about... 15 years?
