not-quite-Houdini

We had to get Eddie an E-collar this past weekend because he was chewing on his paw, the naughty little guy. Since then, he has chewed through the plastic that was keeping the drawstring in place and today I found him like this:

"what."

Yes, I took him out of it after this, so he didn't strangle himself trying to get free. He promptly sat down and bathed himself for 45 minutes. Good kitty.
