My cat chewed up the belt of a kimono

[terestrife]

I dont think she ate it, as my cats dont really eat strange things. But she chewed it enough to shrew the belt apart, the length didnt seem shorter. Its just a thin fabric belt (the fabric is the same as a kimono). Should i worry? I know some things can get tangled in a cats intestines. Should i look out for symptoms?

Keep an eye on her. If she is starts acting different like not eating or straining to use the bathroom (acts like she has to go but doesn't), make an appointment. She might have an obstruction. Check the litter box to see if you see any fabric in her stools.

It's hard to say but if as you said, "she chewed it enough to shrew the belt apart," she may have consumed threads or some of the material from it. I would call the vet and ask their advice, maybe take a pic of the chewed belt and send it to them as well. It's always better to be safe than sorry. In the meantime, definitely watch her closely for any changes in her health. Please keep us posted.

Thank you both! Been keeping an eye on both cats and they're eating like normal. Litter box is as full as always. I'll keep watching just in case.
