We had to assume he ate it and given it can be fatal for a cat to have eaten an elastic (it destroys intestines and can wreak havoc on the stomach and other organs) the vet had to do 2 ultrasounds over a two day period that Riley spent in intensive care. I was so worried I would lose him and it also was an expense I had not budgeted for (not complaining). Elastics and any other object you would not leave around a baby should not be left around cats either (paper clips, coins, thread, wool, dental floss, etc.). Google and you will see confirmation of this.
