I just played with Lily, and I used the toy in the pic below:



There are two of these glittering, tinsel-like stripes of plastic on that toy, I think you can see one of the in the pic.

Too late I have noticed that one of them was almost chewed off, and today, Lily tore a part of it off and swallowed it immediately. When I looked into her mouth, it was already gone.

Since that plastic has a metallic coat which makes the edges kind of sharp, I called the emergency vet to ask what to do. They said not to worry because usually these things leave the cat body "the natural way". That piece wasn't long enough to cause a bowel obstrution, only 2 cm long. So lets hope for the best.

BTW, I gave Lily some malt paste to make the passing easier. Hope she'll be okay, because on Tuesday, she'll have surgery anyway - it's spaying time!
