Re: Bent coat-hanger and curtain wire
Disbelieve. Any cat worth the name would get about halfway, get distracted by the string, play with it for a bit, realize it was tied to its collar and commence a high-speed random route through the floor void trying to escape - inducing panic in the owner lest the stupid animal snag the string and strangle itself.
I once had a cat put its head through the handle of a very sturdy kraft paper bag, panic and take off trailing its own brown paper drogue chute of death. My wife creatively screamed (at me) while I desperately tried to stop the stupid animal from pulling its party-trick of jumping through a decorative wrought iron balustrade and breaking its stupid neck when the bag got snagged on the decorative ironwork.
