Concern for Stray Cat Eating Plastic Wrapper

Cats
1

I saw a stray cat eat a plastic wrapper because it was covered with sauce. I bought food for them, but I’m scared for the cat. Will it be okay?

If this is the only wrapper they’ve eaten, it’s not healthy, but it should pass through without needing to throw it up.

What if it was something long and stringy?

In that case, it could cause a blockage. But if it was just a small piece, the cat should be fine.

It’s great that you bought food for the cat! Just keep an eye on it. If it seems lethargic or has trouble eating, a vet visit might be needed.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep an eye on it.
