May I point out, sadly through ACTUAL prior experience, that if a pet ingests man made fibers and materials, EVEN in small amounts, they can block the animal's intestines to the point of a very suffering DEATH. While it's OK for your pet to play with stuff like this, it is YOUR responsibility to recognize the plight of your pet if thing go South (No EAT!) and get immediate Veterinary care. You have less than three days based upon the loss of my 1 year old boy Samoyed. Just sayin'.
