This vlog didn’t go as planned but I didn’t want to skip another one since we all love this challenge! Charlie is still doing well but no 🌈💩😭

[@elyse49]

Do you think he might have pica? 🤔 I never had a cat with it, but from what I know about it, it could be it? Or maybe he's only a very silly kitty doing stuff he shouldn't 😅 Please keep us updated 🤞

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Except for liking to bite and lick things he doesn’t seem to have the other symptoms so… hopefully he grows out of it :/

[@PagesInTheForest]

Have you tried feeding Charlie hairball remedy? It is a mild laxative and might help. Not a bad idea to have some on hand anyways... Charlie reminds me of one of my cats - she is twice the size of my other two cats, and I think probably 18 lbs or so. Thankfully she doesn't chew on things. She sure loves to beg for drinks from the sink though (even though she has a fountain).

[@helloanny88]

He must be related to my dumb fur baby. He was really into eating bc blankets, hoodies and socks when he was that age. Like turned them into Swiss cheese. I had never seen anything like it, but as he got older he gave it up. Hopefully he passes it quickly! I know that stress (and expense🫠).

[@blobaloo]

My cat has chewed christmas ribbons in the past too, she pooped them out on both occasions it happened. They were hard to notice in the poop because she would chew them up real good, I had a hard time seeing them. It looked like a couple chunky glitter flecks mixed in with her poop. She didn't have any tummy issues throughout the process thankfully, I was the only one suffering those few days 🤣

[@vaals9006]

We call them fur babies, not because they're as cute as babies but because they're as stressful as babies 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I always said I didn’t want kittens because they’re too much work and I ended up with 3 😂

[@Breeski1]

One thing to know is if you see the ribbon hanging out of your cat's butt is to NOT pull it because it could mess up their intestines. Ive had multiple instances with my dumb cats and thats the advice the ER vet told me!

[@alissajoelle5443]

I was hoping someone would say this in the comments!

[@MemberOFscalkof]

One of my cats is also smart dumb. He can open drawers and cabinets. I ended up putting child locks on the ones that have dangerous stuff in them.

[@Cassandrareads]

I have a cat that does this all the time lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Ive considered getting one of the bathroom upstairs because I was scared they’d get into the cleaning products but no… it’s just Clawdia attacking the paper towels and toilet paper rolls lol

[@cat.book.nook.]

One of my cats learned to open the door to one room, and she once did it despite three child locks being glued to them.. She somehow has pulled hard enough to rip them off. I'm not sure if that means she's smarter or more dumb than 3 toddlers 🤣

[@Breeski1]

My cat knows how to open the child lock I myself struggle to open. He loves bread & bagels and will stop at nothing!

[@joyceredman2136]

I have not tried this on a cat, but if a dog swallows something they shouldn't (white Styrofoam from packaging for instance) it is recommended to feed the dog canned pumpkin to relieve their intestinal track of the object.

[@jmschnepp]

We had a cat that could open Hershey's kisses. The same cat would eat seeds out of slices of cucumbers. They sure do keep life interesting.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They like the inside of banana peels and unfortunately Clawdia has discovered the taste of chicken… otherwise they haven’t been too bad with human food!

[@meljstephan]

My cats aren’t big chewers, thank god, but my silly boy cat does seem to get a lot of dingleberries. So that’s fun

[@user-tt3yl3rl8p]

Once I was fixing my grandma's coat and I put my needle and thread down for like 10 seconds and when I went to pick it up it was gone. I was looking everywhere for it, then one of my cats ran past me, this glint of light caught my eye so I chased him. The needle was dangling out of his mouth on the thread, he had swallowed the thread and I had to pull it out slowly from all the way down his throat. If I hadn't of seen the flash of light he would have eaten the needle too and I wouldn't have had a clue. Cats - they are so smart that they come all the way back around to being so stupid

[@MegaChadAnakin]

the picture of your high cat is so hilarious 😂

[@halimamuslimah]

Make sure you have your rubber gloves ready when it’s time to retrieve that ribbon. 😂 That will be a fun video for sure. Prepare for him to panic when he realizes it’s only partially out. Good luck!

[@amacina]

Having a pet means caring and knowing about their poop way more than you ever thought. 😂 As an owner of a dog with a sensitive stomach who loves to dive bomb for all the random shit that lands on the floor, I relate to your struggle so much, Emily!

[@GrunEuleTarot]

Charlie sounds like what I call a flosser hehe the wort thing is when only 1 end of the ribbon comes out you have my sympathies ahead of time.

[@anikamercier2651]

Hope the little guy is doing ok! I was wondering about Pear. So sad she doesn’t like them 😢

[@ParmelkSorashana]

As far as the Christmas tree goes, I've heard from a source that I trust that cats don't like the scent of citrus. So if you put things that smell of oranges and such on or around the tree, it helps act as a deterrent.

[@deendrew36]

Charlie reminds me of when my job as a kid was to pull the Christmas tinsel out of the cat’s butts. Do you remember that plastic-y tinsel we used to get in the 80’s? Stuck to everything. The cats ate it and it would come out of their butts, but it was long, so not all at once. 😂😂. So when a cat came along that had tinsel out their butthole, it was my job to pull it out. Man, the 80’s were wild. Why didn’t we just stop using it?!

[@RoundSeal]

One 'fun' aspect of animal husbandry is spending way, _way_ too much time thinking about, discussing, and panicking about poop. 😅 I still can't believe how massive he's gotten! Fingers crossed for rainbow poop soon 💚

[@allisonryder4781]

It’s the same with newborn human babies😂

[@Katiedora122]

I think some animals see it as a personal challenge to eat whatever they can fit in their mouths. When my roommate first got her puppy, he was terrible about chewing and eating everything he found. He never touched shoes, but two different times he wound up with a blockage that had to be surgically removed, and it was full of hair, dirt, twigs, string, fabric from toys, and pieces of plastic. He mostly grew out of that, but that first year was a constant effort to never leave anything on the floor, lol. I've never vacuumed so much!

[@christinedugas3089]

Justice for Charlie! You say he's kind of dumb, but he also opens drawers and even a step-on garbage can. Sounds clever to me! I used to describe my former cat, Henry, as dumb as a box of rocks in some ways but also very clever in others, and it sounds like Charlie is the same. He also looks very much like Henry, so I've always had a soft spot for Charlie. (And be extra, extra careful with the dental floss. Henry had an expensive operation once when he stopped eating and pooping entirely and the first thing the vet asked about was whether we used dental floss. It wasn't that, but it sounded like that is something they see often enough. Hope he rainbow-poops soon!)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The floss really scared me so I haven’t been using the normal kind again for sure! He’s unfortunately smart at times but I wonder if it’s by accident lol

[@WalkingTravesty123]

With the French translation thing, I'm not sure about Canada but in France I think "prétendre que" means to claim something? Like they claim that it has sedative properties, rather than pretend. Not a native speaker though so not sure!

[@AmarieCAN29]

The translation may be a French quebecois issue. In France, prétend usually means revandique, so more like claim in English. It is claimed that etc. So the translation doesn't sound as shocking to me

[@suzannemoore404]

Go, Charlie!🎉 I'm so sorry for the stress they cause. They know you love them, though. I had tried Gollum and the Jinni, but it was too slow paced at that time for me.

[@sarahfolger5232]

I haven't had tinsel in my house for 30+ years. It wrapped around my cat's intestines and needed surgery. 🎄

[@lulukaouette4927]

Watching this after a loooong day of class before having to get back to my assignments and it made me so happy

[@ivingzuniga841]

not related to the video content but your hair look so healthy and pretty! have you ever shared your hair care routine / tips on your beauty channel?

[@nicoleg1062]

My dumb black kitty loves to eat and play with q-tips - we realized he found out how to get into the trash can with a swivel lid, so we had to replace it with a steel trash can that has a flat lid he can't open. I love your black top with the white sleeve btw!

[@mandeeleis]

Never a dull moment with cats! I have 3 also and thankfully only 1 that likes to eat EVERYTHING. She has eaten sponges, cat toys, soap, litter. You name it. Also thankfully she can't open drawers lol. I got rid of a lot of stuff and put everything else away. I guess I'm a minimalist now 😅

[@anaborges1192]

Oh I'm sorry you had a rough week I hope the rainbow will come soon! I actually really loved Golem and the Jinni it felt really magical for me but it was very slow at times.

[@kittyshiv]

lmfao that pic of him omg, couldnt stop laughin.. poor thing, glad hes ok 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

He sat next to his carrier without moving for 3h! Poor baby 😂

[@aquarion6457]

Love this series. I would really like to do this but I don't have the willpower yet to get rid of books lol

[@Rachel-6016]

Coincidentally I just finished the Golem and the Jinni a couple of weeks ago and it just a 2 for me too because even though I enjoyed some aspects, I kept waiting for this giant climax and the slow pace to amp up and it just… didn’t. I had the same issues as you!

[@Neil-writer-author]

I liked the golem and the jinni

[@myriam8190]

Random, but that purple colour looks amazing on you!

Thank you! I’ve accepted that I’m a “winter” 😂

[@myriam8190]

@@BookswithEmilyFoxC’est sans doute bien avec l’hiver qui arrive 😂

[@allisonryder4781]

❤ looks like Charlie is fine! He wouldn’t be eating , would be lethargic, and would be having trouble popping if there was a blockage. It probably passed or was eaten by stomach acid maybe? My daughters dog once ate a Lego brick and it was gonna be $700 to get it out, but he 💩and out it came. He also once ate a whole tin of margarine!! 😂

[@EddaPascher]

You are such a great cat mum!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The stressssss 😭

[@EddaPascher]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I can imagine. I cannot do it, I tried. And I love animals.

[@nicole4761]

Oh my god, I totally underatand your stress and panic. My dog was around 7 months old when she swallowed a bandage roll, also right in front of me. And this happened at like 2-3AM. My mum and I immediately grabbed her and went to the ER of the vet hospital. And oh did I spend a lot of money, especially because of the time it happened. And she had to have two ultrasounds. One the next morning, and another one 3 days later. The vet said she couldn't see anything in the ultrasounds, so she believed my dog had already pooped it. She was acting normal, eating, pooping, playing, so we tried to trust the vets and go on with our lives. NINE days later, out of nowhere, as I was watching TV in the living room, she started acting as if she was going to throw up, and then there it was. The bandage roll. The whole bandage roll. I was terrified but so relieved. Anyway, I hope there will be a 🌈💩 soon and that you'll be able to relax for a bit hahaha Also, it sucks that the book wasn't as good as you thought it would be. Hopefully the next one will be better!

[@crawfishpi]

One of my cats has a proclivity for chewing the drawstring handles out of garbage bags and swallowing them whole. We found out that this is his favorite hobby when he was walking around the house with what looked like his entire small intestine dragging behind him out of his behind. It was instead a poop covered red plastic ribbon. He survived, he has since had several X-rays and ultrasounds because he also has megacolon and he had no damage. I think when it's thicker it's safer

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yeah the vet told me the ribbon wasn’t as bad as the dental floss but still 🤦‍♀️ no more ribbons in this house!

[@crawfishpi]

@@BookswithEmilyFox we have to be really careful with garbage bags, the box can't be stored in a cabinet he could find his way into, we can't leave a garbage bag "out" they all have to be in a bin, and the small bins have to have the top tied tight and taped over or he WILL find a way to eat it. The things we do for the love and health of furry creatures in our homes.

[@Heather-n7y]

Hoping for the best for dear Charlie! If there's any consolation, there's a chance he may outgrow his desire to chew on everything. My cat chewed holes in the fabric of my furniture and chewed on the corners of walls for the first couple years, but he eventually stopped and isn't remotely destructive like that anymore. Hopefully Charlie will outgrow this phase after a while 🤞

[@lilimel33]

a tip i have for the christmas tree so you dont put up breakable decor, you could put up bows in gold and red ou christmasy colors or colors that you like. bows would break or be a huge problem with cats, i think (i dont have cats

[@lilimel33]

or* christmasy colors. bows wouldn't* break

[@lilimel33]

ok, just got to the part where charlie ate a rainbow ribbon, so maybe not a good idea?

[@halhys]

Hey! I feel you ! I have a cat with PICA! She eats all things string related so all my shoes, bras, elastics, hair bands are sealed away in boxes and she s medicated for stress so she's doing a bit better now but I wouldn't test it, still hungry for strings ! Having a cat with this condition is quite stressful but once all the triggering things are put away (and you get the hang of it and do it by reflex) it gets way more easier to live with it! It is stressful but it is manageable!! Also baby security thingies are your friends for drawers ahah For the insurance mine is 50 a month per cat (I m in canada) but I would still insure just that one before any diagnosis is done if it s not too late already! >< Mine has a lot of issues and I was advised that it wasn't worth it to insure her.... I had to get her a surgery because of her PICA once ( I had a roommate for a while and she ate her stuff.... she opened a zipper to get to it...) and it was 6000$ for the surgery without the insurance.... What I would say is keep an eye on the consistency of his poop.. if you see a change in texture or blood in it, go back to the vet.. (that's how I saw she didn't pass those 2 hair bands..and had to go quickly get the surgery! also surprised they didnt do an enema?? ) Courage a toi et a Charlie!! I swear it gets better once all sealed!!

[@halhys]

Also never doubt, you are doing amazing with taking care of these bibiies !!! 🥰

[@Facetimecat]

One of my cats licks plastic when she’s hungry. She’s doesn’t eat it, she just licks and bites but doesn’t swallow. The other cat rips anything that’s paper! Toilet paper, receipts, etc. When my son brings home schoolwork, we have to make sure it’s out of reach for our kitty. Instead of “my dog ate my homework” it’s basically the same but a cat doing it instead 😂

[@spookyyjazz]

ugh I’m so sorry for the ribbon stress!!;-; a while back my baby swallowed yarn from my living room rug and she was not herself at all, hiding and not eating I got so scared. I hadn’t even realized she’d eaten it until it had started coming out and was stuck!! the whole thing was so scary, but the rug is gone & she’s just fine ❤ their curiosity can be too much sometimes lol 😭😭🫣

[@steffykiwi]

Charlie is basically a toddler ❤😂❤

[@msellenandrea]

Wishing for some good rainbow poops very soon! 💩 Last week I had a meltdown over my cat, these adorable little shits will be the death of us 😂

[@lauf22]

Of course I am sad you didn't enjoy the book as much as you wanted but I am so relieved to hear someone with the same opinion like me. I should have DNFed it but kept going because of the hype and it was not a book for me.

[@Stinkincutecrochet]

I’ve seen teething toys for cats, maybe when Charlie chews something, replace with teething toy…. Maybe he will learn, prob not 😂

[@ejderhaz]

cats always seem to make our boring days very.... lively lmao 😭😭 but when they eat random stuff you always think the worst might happen, and cats don't show that they're suffering so it's up to us to catch on symptoms etc.. you're doing amazing, i know how stressful it is.. Especially when you have several cats! I hope he will poop it out with no issue 🌈

[@Juli6SS]

I have my own health anxiety, my when my cat's sick or possibly sick - it's even worse 😅 I hope Charlie will be fine!

[@SadieRuin]

As a fur parent with some really dodo headed mewmews the poo will come but it may be a hot minute. Now if blood shows up you’re hopped. My Bonito had to have a stomach and intestine surgery to remove a blockage of yarn string ribbon and plastic (no idea how she did all that damage).

[@badfaith4u]

Hope the rainbow appears in the litter box. Cats are a handful. One of my cats can open doors and another cat likes to push things off the ledge when he is hungry or not getting enough attention. The third one is chunky since he is 6ish kg in weight and the fourth one is a kitten. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@ericapoe]

My cat bit a piece of rubber mat when he was younger and he did threw it up along with the food. I understand the frustration of having cats bite and chew everything😅.

[@JesseJaneReads]

I was a dog walker/pet sitter for 4.5 years. I’m listening to the cat talk like ‘Yeah, sure.’ Completely unbothered

[@Beaureads24]

What we do for cats.. I had a cat who ate ribbon and it came out, not pretty. I had to outlaw ribbon in house with him.Good luck cats are fun!

[@greymyers4087]

I really enjoyed that book when it came out. Now there is a sequel, but I would need to reread the first and I’m scared I wouldn’t enjoy it as much now, so I’ve been putting it off.

[@circa1890]

I know it's hard not to fret about our little fur faces .. but there's very little you can do here. My cat does (thankfully) throw up the poisonous stuff she's able to find - ugh. We once had a cat who ate the tinsel off the tree, since my boyfriend was the one who wanted the tinsel in the first place, he's the one who got to pull it out of her hindside a few days later with her howling. They're pretty resilient creatures. Ask about MiraLAX (1/8th of a tsp.) to find out if the extra fiber may help him along.

[@VelvetRose765]

I'm so interested to know what the papers behind you on the wall are?

[@andiekp]

Oh, Charlie, hopefully he's okay. My boy cat is a giant dummy, too. He also ate a ribbon off a toy as a kitten. I feel like it came out a few days later, I just remember it taking longer than I thought it would and stressing the whole time (he was 100% unbothered). Charlie sounds exactly like my boy cat. I'm sure much like my boy, Charlie will calm down as he gets a little older! My boy still causes trouble, but WAY less. it's a good thing they're so cute 😊 I didn't like the Golem and the Jinni 😬

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Hopefully he’ll have a 🌈💩 soon. I would have scissors handy! It’s likely that only part of the ribbon will appear & you’ll want to snip off what is present. And kibble will help protect the intestines by “bulking” it up. I too have a furry, lovable, void… and she has pica. We’ve been there with curling ribbon, a beauty blender (that was an expensive 7 enemas), a many more things. I do knit! And she’s never eaten yarn. We also have a lovely gray fuzzy girl in the family who will do all she can to eat anything cellophane or similar including envelope windows & shopping bags. Earlier this year she swallowed a plastic shopping bag handle… it showed up about 10 days later, a little at a time. Best of luck!

[@oumaimasbooks]

Just came back from the vet and I found this vlog in which you're also talking about Charlie's vet visit 😂 They're making us all broke from the vet bills

[@audreyann5884]

I can relate for Charlie! My cat is the same: he eats everything he see. At first it was stressfull but now im kinda used to it😅 also, because Blood Over Bright Haven is on KU, im forsure gonna start it soon!!

[@auroradeee]

My cat is a siamese mix. She chews on everything and needed emergency bowel obstruction surgery 2.5 years ago (She ate a large velcro strip used to tie cords). A year after she developed chronic pancreatitis. But not to completely freak you out, she has eaten much she shouldn't and usually passes without trouble. You will be highly stressed each and every time though. Thankfully they are worth it. 😊

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I’ve gotten him insurance… it’s a question of time before he needs surgery at this point 🤦‍♀️

[@MonikaBury]

(the internet's most anticipated poop ;D) We keep our fingers crossed that it will be good!

They make cat chewing toys.... and chewing sticks. One of my guys likes to chew a lot and he loves the chewing ring.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

He has so many 😭 His favorite is cardboard boxes tho

[@SaraMGreads]

I have had to get my cat 2 separate surgeries to remove crap from her intestines. $3000 dollars each and 3 years off my life each time. My advice - absolutely every hair elastic must be kept locked up, every ribbon thrown away, no strings at all in the house. We have to be super vigilant about not bringing this stuff home.

[@kellymanfredini3835]

My friend had a dog like that. He even ate a remote once!

[@zhrae9992]

My cat loves to eat plastic and he manages to find some no matter how much i try to throw every plastic thing that enters my house. He usually throws it out

[@kbird6208]

My indoor cat loves to chew grass and if I don't have fresh wheatgrass for him he starts chewing on other things. Luckily he's a picky eater and doesn't actually eat too many things, but man does he get a bit annoying when he doesn't have his own plant to gnaw on.

[@lillianhart1222]

Omg dumb cats eating random objects is super relatable. My cat is obsessed with plastic. If you leave any plastic rapper lying around, she WILL chew on it and swallow it. She's also my largest cat and is 4 pounds heavier than her biological sister, so I guess large cats have in them some unstopable desire to chew

[@eettis]

oh my god my sister's cat is exactly like that! and she's also very large lmao

my 6 year old cat has been a serial eater since she was a kitten too and it’s SO STRESSFUL i’ve seen her eat hair bands probably 15 times and NEVER pooping them, she opens drawers and doors and cabinets… at one point I baby-proofed everything but somehow she still manages to be a menace and keep my blood pressure high

[@lydiaa2612]

My cat eats hair bands too. Do you think they just remain in their stomach forever?

My cat swallowed a pink ribbon back in 2020, but he was a bit more dramatic about it. It took about 48 hours for the ribbon to reappear. They kept him in the kitty ER hopped up on fluids until it passed ... 2,000 dollars later... 🙄🙄 But he's alive and I love him very much. We now have supervision with any ribbons. He's also a Siamese, smart but obviously not smart enough to not swallow a ribbon.

[@elisedespinoy9267]

I’m French and yes, prétendre can definitely be used as to claim as it is a synonym to “affirmer”.

[@amyschmelzer6445]

Maybe it's a difference between Canada French and France French. You know how the meanings of words in US English and British English can be wildly different. It seems like most English-French translators are for France and that's not what you want if you're trying to sell a product in Canada.

Yeah we've had fun translation fails in the past. One of the most well known is a car that's called "lacrosse" which France French will relate to the sport... in Quebec it can also mean masturbating or ripping off someone lol

My dog swallowed a wooden cat toy from our neighbors right in front of me and everyone at the vet's knew he did. He never pooped it out, but no internal struggles for him. I just hope we'll never have to have him back for another issue and having to see that it's still there on an x-ray.

[@crazybiogeek]

When our cat was still pretty young, my husband comes home and sees a green shoelace coming out of her butt. He didn't really know what else to do but put her in the bath tub and he slowly pulled it out. Google says that's NOT the best way to handle it, but sometimes our brains don't think that far in advance and just take action. The removal experience was so upsetting to the cat, she's never eaten anything like that ever again. And she leaves my yarn alone.

[@lucadoesvideos]

Fellow fluent frenchy, “on prétend que” translates to “It is said that” or “It is claimed that” or “It is argued that”.

Fingers crossed for Charlie 🤞🤞 For your herbal tea, I think they could have write something like "les fleurs de tillia seraient des plantes aux propriétés sédatives" or "les fleurs de tillia auraient des propriétés sédatives"... like, we get the 'idea' but it would have been a little less condescending 🤷‍♀ (I usually never comment, and now j'écris un roman, sorry about that!) x

My manager has a siamese cat and he’s done so many similar things. Chewed more than a metre of shoelace, they have to hide absolutely everything :( Also idk if I missed an update, but how’s Pear?

I am very glad that I don’t have any cats, because it looks stressful 😮😂

If it makes you feel any better, my cat swallowed a bell that he ripped out of a toy at 5am the other day, freaked us out because he was jingling when he walked around, then spit it back up while we were on the phone with the emergency vet 😅

I have a bloodhound and he once ate a large black male sock and fully digested and pooped it out the other end 😅

My cat was eating used Q-tips... cats can be soooo dumb sometimes. Now she eats the pine needles of the (fake) christmas tree, so now she pukes everywhere :)

My dog swallowed a 6×18-in piece of plastic once, it was a clear sheet of plastic and I don't even know where it came from. It didn't hurt her, butt she did need help getting it out though. Cats are more flexible so he might be able to help himself, prepare yourself in case you need to give him a hand getting rid of the second "rainbow tail" :/

okay, i know i'm pretty late to the video, but have u tried getting charlie some kinda chewing toys? idk if it would help but he does remind me of those dogs who just like to chew everything! u could rub cat mint (is this the english word i'm looking for?) on some to make it more appealing....but also hes a cat...those creatures never use stuff intended for them :'))
