It's too late for this now but what I would have done was take her to the vet RIGHT AWAY after it happened so they could induce vomiting. Otherwise you're playing Russian Roulette. It might come out the other end just fine or it might get tangled in her intestines and require emergency surgery.

hmm...I wonder why my cats have never had a problem ith the stuff? You don't think they eat dry grass when they are outside cats or in the wild? I tried giving them fresh cat grass but they don't like it. They much prefer the dry grass skirt.
I wouldn't go crazy. My cats managed to eat thread and pieces of plastic bags. And you're right when you panick they panic and start eating even faster. She'll go to the bathroom and all will be fine.
Yeah the manufacturers could care less about the health of our kitties, as long as they make sales
Well wouldn't you say that anything could be dangerous if eaten? I mean ribbons, sisal rope, plastic toys, anything really...so it's not really the manufacturers fault, it's up to us to be careful about our cats not eating the things they might rip up. I mean, a cat can rip a piece of thread off of a cat bed and get that tangled in the gut...that dosen't mean the manufacturer should be at fault for using thread to sew the bed together.Originally Posted by chichismom

I don't think that all manufacturers don't care. Maybe the ones with huge compaines that mass produce but there are smaller manufacturers out there that really love animals and that's why they started the business to begin with.
Yes Bengal babe, not all are bad- sorry I put them all down earlier, there are some really good companies out there that are interested in the well-being of our kitties. But i have experienced some really cheaply made toys in the past, poot stitching etc... those were the companies I meant to refer to. I was just caught in the heat of the moment i guess(lol) sorry if I offended anyone! I love you guys!!!!!

Semi, just a note I did say in my original post, I called the vet RIGHT AWAY. They said not to come in. I am lucky in that if I go out on my deck and crane my neck I can see vets office and they know that. Maybe that is why they felt it was not necessary to race her over. I even called the ER Vet for a second opinon and they said to watch her but not to panic too much. I may sound a little defensive but I swear I love my kittens and would have more than willing to pay the vet any amount necessary.
no offense taken.
