I just cleaned Lily's litter box and got shock #2 today! Saw something red in her poo and for a second, I thought it was blood, but when I looked closer, I saw it was a small piece of ribbon. I could even see where her teeth had perforated it before she ate it.
I wonder when she swallowed it! I'm always very careful with these things. Last night I brought a gift home (decorated with long strings of these ribbons) but I put it away before the cats could start chewing on it. But weeks ago, I caught Lily chewing on the ribbons of a birthday present I got, but my birthday was in early November, so I wonder whether that thing could have stayed inside her bowels for such a long time!? :confused:
I also wonder if I should better contact a vet? I would have called mine if her office would be opened now, but it's after midnight here, and actually I don't think this is an emergency case. Lily seems to be healthy as usual, she is eating, drinking, playing, and she's not constipated and does not vomit. so I hope she's alright. If she would show any symptoms, of course I would rush her to the vet ER.
