His yarn ball didn't last very long

Friendly PSA: Yarn is super dangerous for cats! They will ingest it (because they love eating things they shouldn’t), and it will tangle in their stomach and intestines and cost you many dollars to remove said yarn. Please be super careful with this!
- Try: yarn remove yarn
  
  I think it didn't come with yarn. Check what distro is it running: cat /etc/*-release
- Thanks for the heads up
  
  My cat ingested some thread from our curtains and the emergency surgery to get it out cost over $6000
- Had to have a pricey surgery for one of mine after he ate a bunch of yarn. Cannot recommend.
- What! I didn't know that, and I just gave one of my cats a little crocheted ball yesterday. I hadn't made it for them, but one of them was obsessed with it quickly so I figured I'd let him have it. BRB going to find it and take it away, I had no idea, thank you for mentioning this!!!!
