my brother is putting up a wall, i make sure to sweep everyday so the cats wont hurt their feet or eat anything odd.

but of course my cat finds the tiniest piece of hardened compound.
 about half the size of a grain of rice. she ate it before i couple stop her. should i be worried?

she was in the room as it has no door yet, i put a bunch of things in front to keep her out. i wasnt worried before because i was sweeping and my cat never eats random things from the ground like that.

I doubt she'll have any serious side effects, but keep an eye on her.  If you notice she's not eating or not pooping, then get her to the vet.  Otherwise, keep an eye on her litter box and watch for it in her poop.

I can't tell you the number of times I've been on poop patrol over the years.  Sometimes they really don't eat it, but I don't know what they do with it!  LOL  Hope she continues to do well.

i havent had to check their poop until now. lol im really obsessive with cleaning the floors, but with all the renovating as much as i clean there is dust everywhere. my brother is sanding and it gets in every surface, im cleaning up but my kittys step on the dust before i can get to it. 


maybe what they do is put it in their mouth and then spit it out.
