It's only a precaution, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry (and my vet agreed).
I was building a wooden frame for my bathroom mirror last night, and I only left the room for less than a minute, but when I came back, Lily has found the package with the screws and was already chewing on one of them. Was able to get it out of her mouth again, but when I counted the remaining screws (the package said there were 200 in it and I knew how many I had used so far) I found out there were two missing. Needless to say, this gives you the scary idea Lily might have eaten them already.
So we're off the to vet's now for an x-ray-shot. Please keep paws and fingers crossed they'll find nothing!
Besides, I feel like a very bad cat mommy because I didn't think about the screws when I left the room!
