So I kept watching, very closely now. And she picked up <BR>
another piece, exactly the way she would pick up a piece of <BR>
cat food, and instantly and effortlessly swallowed that one <BR>
as well. My wife and I simply could not believe our eyes! <BR>
She swallowed it as quickly and easily as a drink of water.<BR>

Um, I don't want to worry you, but if you love your cat you should probably take her to the vet. A piece of wire could puncture something inside of her. That would be a painful way to go. I worry about my girlfriend's cats doing that same type of thing. It's almost imposible to keep cats out of trouble. I should probably switch to lead free solder. </FONT></HTML>
