Kitten died after swallowing string that came off new piece of furniture

A woman is devastated after her kitten died when a piece of string went ‘straight through her guts’ - from a new chair. Joanne Moriarty, 49, says an attached tassel came loose from the pink 'pouffe' and was swallowed by her cat.

Joanne, who runs a dog walking and pet-sitting business, says vets were unable the save the five-month-old cat, named Bonnie Blue. She has since been left heartbroken and with a £1,400 bill from the vet.

Sellers Freemans have now added a line to its care leaflet saying that ''claws and teeth may tear/dislodge fabrics and fillings, which may pose a choking risk''.
