Question

Is alright for a (8 week old) kitten to play with tin foil ?

Answer 1

its fine, just make sure you compress it enough so that she cannot chew bits off it. Tinfoil rolled into  ball makes the best and cheapest playtoy. It shiny, crinkley and rolls funny, so they love playing with it.

Answer 2

No, she might eat it.

Answer 3

Not if they chew on it.  They cannot digest it, and it will become lodged in their intestines, and that will be cause for surgery to remove it.  Your best bet is to go spend a few bucks on cat safe toys, or make some toys out of fabric.  Cut a few 3"x3" pieces of fabric and sew them together, leave a little corner open and stuff with large dry beans and cat nip.  Sew the corner up...then sew another round to make sure the square is completely sewn.  My cats love these.  You can also make shapes like mice, stars, tubes....

It's a fun family activity to do!

Answer 4

I had a puppy that got into some foil and the foil tore up her insides and she died as a result so I would keep her away from the foil.

Answer 5

No. It might eat little pieces of it.  Cat's don't digest metal well.

Answer 6

no, tin foil is not appropriate for any animal of any age.

Answer 7

Aw, I think it will okay.

But, make sure you watch her, (s)he doesnt chew it up and swallow it:).

Answer 8

No, you should get the kitten some kitten toys, but not with foil.  Cats chew or bite into almost everything, and this will go though its digestive system and might get clogged.  You would not want it in your digestive system either.  You can get some kitty toys for just a dollar or less in the pet store (my cats love the ping pong ball "soccer" and catnip mice) and they will provide hours of healthy play.  And remember that in a way, cats are like babies in that they put everything into their mouths, so I usually hide stuff they could choke on.

Answer 9

no i dont think its ok as kittens and cats have sharp teeth and could tear a bit off and swollow it and it may choke it, i would not give a child it so why give a kitten it,............. if the kittens attracted to tin foil get a childs toy that has the tinfoil scrunchy stuff on it and your kitty should be happy chewing on it!!!! DONT  give it tin foil please!! my vet said it was ok for my cat and a month or so later i had him in the vets removing the tinfoil that lodged in his throat,and it was not bigger than the top of a pen,biro and caused lasserations.hes ok now thank god cause it could have done dammage but they got it out,but BIG vet bill!!

Answer 10

As long as it's too big for her to swallow, it's fine.  Make a ball about 2".
