MEOW! My name is June Buggie, and I have something to say.
I am so ticked off! It seems Jen has changed the kind of dental floss she uses. Instead of using the regular, cool kind that she wrapped around her fingers, she is now using something called Plackers. It’s a little plastic stick with the floss connected to it.
Why is this such a big deal?
Hey, dental floss is huge in this household. We have played Dental Floss Hide and Seek with Jen for years! We dug it out of the trash can, so she bought a can with a lid. We figured out how to knock the lid off, so she put the can inside the vanity. Like she doesn’t think we can open the vanity too! * rolls eyes*
But now she’s using these Plackers flossing thingies, and the party’s over.
Oh sure! SHE says it’s because it’s dangerous for cats to eat floss, or string, or yarn, or anything like that. It seems there’s the chance it can cause kitties problems if eaten, including perforation of the intestine or blockages. Hey, I got nine lives! I can deal with it!
Apparently though, she can’t. So it’s bye-bye long strands of dental floss and hello funny little plastic thingie.
The good news is, this makes a pretty decent cat toy too. What? What do you mean you’re cutting the floss part off first? Hiiissssssss!!!!!

That is a brilliant idea!
You should try them!
I shall see if I can find them!! 😉
Sorry June Buggie, but your Mom is right Floss is bad for Cats and Dogs digestion!.. Sorry to be a party poopper!
Enjoy the rest of the week though and hope you find some other toys to play with 🙂
I will play with the Plackers! MEOW!
Well I thought you might, but didnt want to give you any ideas!….. One thing June Buggie, you will have fresh minty breath! 🙂
so my breath will smell good when I bite the human’s chin…. .MEOW!
I agree….not good for kitties..neither is tinsel on Christmas trees at this time of year..guess us peeps are just no fun!! hugs Fozziemum x
Humans are EVIL! Hissssssss!!!!!!
Heheehh they are indeed the Fun Police….boooooooo hisssss to the funnards 🙂
Not good for Kitties, My Humom always uses those ones 🙂 Have a super weekend Rumpy xxooxxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Your humom is pretty smart…. considering she’s a human. MEOW!
“Don’t go getting your panties in a wad?” Really, JB?
Hey, if the disclaimer fits, apply it! Meow!
🙂
I love the disclaimer!
Meow!!!! Nothing touchy-freely about this kitty!
No ma’am. You go CHASE that floss!
Jen is looking out for you. If you get an intestinal problem with the floss you might need surgery. YUK, YUK.
Hugs and Licks, BJ Pup
Ugh!!!! No surgery for me!
Silly human, thinking they can out smart you!!! (Even if it is for your own good)
Never gonna happen on MY watch! MEOW!
Plackers are great for back teeth – but totally rubbish as kitty playthings!! Take care
x
Still, I will play with it, if only because the human prefers I not do so.
Hi there Rumpster, lovin’ your post in my inbox as always! We have the same problem with dental floss at my house, the kitties just dont stay out of it, we had to get a trash can with a lid upstairs! 😀
Poor June Buggie. Why do you want to ruin all his fun?
We’ve started using the Reach flossers. You keep the handle but just replace the small piece of floss. It means you are throwing away less plastic.
Reusable? But how can I play with THAT????
Hai June Buggie! *waving* Oh poor June Buggie…..sorry that you can’t enjoy those dental fross anymore but what Jen did is for you and your fur family, so I agree with Jen! *Whispers* our mom didn’t know that the fross could be dangerous for me and my cat brofurs….thanks for letting us know!
Oh yes! Strings, yarn, tinsel, and the like can be very dangerous. A cat will chew on it and swallow it. The string can cause an internal puncture or can wrap around the tongue or another organ and get stuck. It’s very bad!
We have such a thingy too. It’s great! (mom once hurted her paws with the common dental floss)
Those thingies are pretty awesome!
Isaiah got into the dental floss and thank goodness is went through and came out. I now have a covered trash can in the bathroom with a cover that if you step on it, it opens. I disconnected the step and now in order to open the cover you have use your hands. Now, if only I could stop him from shredding the sisal rope on the cat tree……..
Bubba Cat eats rubber bands. It’s frightening to watch him when he gets one. He’s like addicted to them!
I am not sure which was funnier the article or the disclaimer…great job and a really important message too…tinsel on the tree at Christmas is another big concern…
Some folks get upset if they think one person is getting some pie and they’re not…… just sayin’.
Not understanding sorry..
Federal rules require you to note if you’re being paid for a post. I won’t want someone to try to give me trouble by claiming I didn’t report I was paid for this post- because I wasn’t.
How petty those people are then…what a shame…sounds like they missed your entire message…which was a great one…
Aw, poor babies, Jen took away your fun. Meanie! But she loves you, so cut her some slack. 🙂 Thankfully, Callie and Shadow don’t bother with the garbage any more; and Ducky’s more interested in destroying her Kong Wubbas.
Garbage-tipping is great fun at our house. The garbage cans are secured now. The kitchen garbage can is inside the pantry, and on at least two occasions Graybie Baby has spent the day locked inside because he snuck in before Jen left for work.
June Buggie, you will find a way! ME-Ommmmmmm
I will not be oppressed! MEOW!
Poor kitty.
Life is soooooo unfair! MEOW!
Your mama is one smart cookie!
We use them too 🙂
Very smart!!!
Our mom uses those things too…or something similar. We never thought about playing with them. Thanks for the tip, June Buggie!
Haha my mom uses those thingies too. I think your mom’s reason for switching makes sense – safety over fun. I tolerate the same rationale around here. 😉
Those darn humans, always trying to spoil our fun:( But you know, Junie,that floss could really cause you some problems in your tummy tum tum.
Woos – Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
So true. Another cool thing about Plackers is that you can use them while driving the car. Try THAT with dental floss!!!
With those plackers, if you twang it between your teeth it makes a nice tune! Well, maybe not!
Our mum uses them (different version) they are brilliant 🙂 x
Our biped tried that and gave up. Back to floss but we’re not allowed anywhere near the disposable and it hasn’t struck our fancy to go after it. Must be a kitty thing, wag wag. Max & Bella
Jen is totally right, June Buggie. Dental floss is SO dangerous if accidentally ingested by pets!
Fun and lighthearted hiss 🙂 Wonder if our kids know about dental floss hide and seek, it may explain floss lying on the floor 🙂
