Cats are very playful, and they see string as a toy. Biting and chewing are some of the ways a cat will play with an object.

However, you shouldn't let your cat eat string, or even play with string, due to health risks associated with cats eating string. String can easily get caught around or block up part of the cat's digestive system which, in some cases, can be fatal. It is also quite possible for the cat itself to get stuck or tangled in string even without eating it. Surgery is usually the most effective way of removing not only string, but also rubber bands, thread, etc. This can be costly.

Also, DO NOT pull on string coming out of a cat's mouth or butt. This can cut intestines! if you see a cat with string coming out of a cat's mout or butt take them to the vet immediately.
