Awful, but this is happening. PLEASE DO NOT put anything around a Cat's neck that can not stretch - for that matter anything around ANY animal's neck that is not a collar!!!!

This once beautiful and loveable animal where found on a farm with a dead chick tide around its neck. It is suspected that he caught the chick and to learn him a lesson the chick was tide around the neck and sadly the thread got caught on a branch.

Clearly this cat was stuck on the branch for days before he was found and unfortunately died while on the way to the veterinarian.

Chicks and things such as thread DO NOT go around animals necks, it is not found there so it does not belong there!

Do not tie things around animal's necks.
