If the piece is small enough, your cat may pass it or vomit it back up. This is a lucky scenario for cats who eats ribbon. If the ribbon or thread is long or thick, it can lead to a life-threatening condition known as gastrointestinal obstruction due to linear foreign body. Linear foreign bodies develop in cats when they eat ribbon. Imagine drawstring pants. If you knotted one side and pulled the other side as hard as you could, the material of the waistband would bunch up.
This condition can lead to a loss of blood supply to tissue in the area of the plication, causing that tissue to die. Barchas has to Dogster and Catster since May Which would be BAD. NOT a vet here. Did research on it for another cat. My cat just ate a small piece of fabric its thing but im not sure if he can poop it out im very worried bec of what the internet told me and im not sure if i could go anywhere outside home rn its very late what should i do.
We bought a few balloons for my young siblings and the balloons are tied with ribbon. My cat ate a pretty short piece and I saw that she pooped it out when I cleaned her litter box. But I catch her still trying to eat more. So my cat swallowed a piece of yarn about inches long. Can a short piece of yarn do that much? My cat just did the same thing! Did everything turn out ok? This is exactly what just happened to my cat and im full on panicking- did yours turn out okay?
Did you end up taking them to the vet? My cat recently ate a metre of nylon ribbon. It was very fortunate that I was home at the time and caught her in the act, though I was not quick enough to catch her before she swallowed it all! I got her to the vet straight away and she had to have emergency abdominal surgery to remove the ribbon. My kitten eats everything. She has a form a pica so I have to be very careful what she can get into.
All her toys have to be carefully screened. One day as I was cleaning I lay the cat teaser on a chair and the next moment I looked there was no string. After combing the area for chewed up string we went off to the vet. Now all teasers are kept up high out of reach. She cannot play with any toys except balls unsupervised. This is a real thing. I had to put my cat to sleep last night due to a perforated intestinal tract and obstruction.
He was fine just a day or so ago. Hi there my cat got some way doom in now i dont know what to do she doesnt eat or drink anything and shes just lying what can i give her to feel better thanx Natasha shes 5 mnths old.
Came home to find one of my three ctas had thrown up a long piece of ribbon. No idea which one. Not sure what to do. None act abnormal. And no one is peeing outside the box and none seem to mind when I press around on their bellies or bladder areas. My cat eatS A long yarn string. Estimated about 4 feet long. He throws out what he eated. After we saw one and half feet long yarn came out his aectum, then we realize he has eaten A ling string.
I know it is hard to see A string from xray. I want to give the cat couple of days to fight the string. Hi there, We suggest you work with a vet on this. We hope your kitty feels better!

Posted February 8, edited. Edited February 8, by Mysticsol8. Dogs and Cats have been eating non-edible items for hundreds of years especially in the wild.
They almost always do just fine. If it were a battery, I would worry. Stay positive, I'm sure the little guy will be just fine. Hagar Posted February 8, Chewybacca Posted February 8, You could call the vet and ask how much specifcally you can give at a time.
Jetersmom and Bernie's. I am sure he has done this before, I just don't know about it Hagar Posted February 9, Posted February 9, Read on to find out how to know if your cat has swallowed string and how to handle this stressful and, potentially dangerous, situation.
This can include yarn, fishing line, thread, eastern grass, tinsel…well, you get the idea. According to Catster Ask a Vet linear matter can become snagged. One of the more common places for this to occur is under the tongue. Here it can wrap and anchor itself while the other portion is being swallowed, which can pose a choking hazard.
Another place for string-matter to become anchored is in the intestinal tract. Once this occurs, bacteria and whatever else is already in the intestinal tract, can leak out.
This can lead to a condition known as septus, which usually ends in death.
