Glad to hear it all came out OK. Except for the wallet part of course. In case you wondered whether cats are any better, there’s this gem from last week with lots of “Yeah, mine too…” stories: > [@My Cat Just Coughed Up an 18 Inch Piece of This Plastic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-cat-just-coughed-up-an-18-inch-piece-of-this-plastic/925243): > > The type of plastic that I think may have been used to wrap up a small package. What on earth would motivate him to swallow such a thing? Back when I was a kid we found a tangled strip of thin plastic hanging out of our Doberman’s anus. Parents gone, cellphones decades in the future, so we just waited and watched. An hour later it finished coming out along with a LOT of dogshit. Like a week’s worth. He’d eaten one of the large plastic bags used for newspaper raincoats, so ~18" long and ~24" in circumference. It was still mostly one piece, so I wondered then and now how he swallowed it without choking to death right then and there. He normally wasn’t prone to chewing or eating random stuff, but once in awhile they remind you why you’re the owner and they’re the pet. Idjits the lot of 'em! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dogs-have-no-common-sense/925762)._
