60. Was once in our kitchen making something to eat

When I heard our cat sounding like she was choking. I looked down and saw her trying to eat the pull strip from a lunch meat package someone had carelessly thrown at the trash can, but on the floor. As I reached for it saying "Give me that!" she took off down the hall to her favorite window, hacking all the way lol.
