MAN!!!!!Never, EVER again >will that silverware drawer be left open. I had a similar emegency with Ditto (my little male kit). He plays around the bed and under the covers..... At the time of my usual 10 minute check on them I saw his collar on the floor next to the bed. His collar doesn't easily come off over his head. When I bent down to look under the bed, Ditto was hanging by his head between the box springs and the bed frame. His little body was totally limp! I unlodged him; he had saliva and foam all over his head. I thought he was gone -- but he started wiggling, opened his eyes, but they were glazed over and stayed that way for a few minutes, until he finally looked around as if to say ' hey what's all the commotion?' He was breathing, but a bit in shock. I called the vet's office right away to be sure that he was fine, and he was - with no injuries. Very lucky I found him when I did. No more unattended bedroom playtime for them. -D p.s. Karen, I hope Tabitha turns up safe & sound, and sassy.... [Posted in FML issue 2028]
