new years day my cat ate a small bunch of tinsel. he threw up some of it, but after for a day or two did not eat and did nothing but sleep. now its been a week later and he ate today for the first time and is much more lively. could he be well now? did the tinsel pass? a trip to the vet is going to cost about 200 dollars i dont have extra money in the house. someone told me tinsel can be poisonous to cats, is this true?? thanks
