Dog Swallows 5 Toy Cats!
When Snowy, a West Highland terrier from Cambridgeshire, couldn’t keep her food down for two weeks, her owners sensibly took her for a check-up at the Cromwell Veterinary Group. Imagine their surprise when the routine x-ray came back looking like this!
Yes, that is exactly what it looks like; Snowy had swallowed a family of 5 toy cats, the biggest of which was 2 inches tall! The other 4 cats were about an inch long as well, which means they would take up quite a lot of room inside any dog, let alone a little West Highland terrier – a breed that rarely grow to taller than 11 inches themselves!
After the operation to remove the cats, associate vet Carol Barker reported that Snowy had made a good recovery and was much happier. Although we don’t know how Snowy managed to find or swallow the toys, this is a clear reminder to all owners to keep easily-swallowed things out of reach of toys. Especially if they look like lunch!

Must have been one hungry dog to eat toy cats..
Maybe he thought they were real cats!
It was a she and I think even a dog would realise that an inch long inanimate object probably isn’t a living cat.
