Last nite, before bedtime, I saw pepurr was playing with a gum wrapper on the floor, I thought he was just bored, so I didnt pay attention to it, after a few mins, i was trying to find the gum wrapper, it totally disappeared. Peppurr must have eatten it.

Peppurr threw up this morning, that have never happened to him before... is it because of the paper he ate earlier?

will he be alright? why was he eating paper? is it possible that he has parasise?

Thanks!!

What type of wrapper was it? Hopefully not foil. Some other brands may have a slick coating on one side or sort of like wax paper.
Keep and eye on him, and it is wasn't normal paper you may need to get him in to see a vet soon.

Lesson here, pick up after yourself - cats can and will chew on anything.
