Why?!?!

Is it likely to pass through?!

I am so worried!

Does your vet have an out of hours number you could call for advice?

IStillMissBlockbuster · 10/10/2018 20:03

I think you should take the cat to the vet. It could get tangled up inside her. And reconsider leaving your child and cat unattended.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 10/10/2018 20:03

Call your vets out of hours, or find another local one to call. I know a puppy that ate one and it caused serious complications. Thankfully he’s now fine but he was seriously unwell

I thought "ooh that's an unusual flavour" then realized what you meant!

There's the possibility of it blocking the intestinal tract, keep cat inside for a week to make sure it's pooing as normal.

FekkoTheLawyer · 10/10/2018 20:04

She fed the cat a what?

UpstartCrow · 10/10/2018 20:05

For larger dogs it can pass through, but for smaller animals it can cause problems as it stretches out in the intestines. They are as dangerous as string. They can cause parts of the intestines to die.

Its much easier for the vet to remove it from her stomach than her intestines, so get her straight to the surgery.

ProfessorMoody · 10/10/2018 20:05

Take her straight in so it can be removed before it goes lower.

The inner plastic wrapper of a pepperami Fekko.

Ffs, stupid cat.
I hope she will be okay

Have you phoned the vet?

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 10/10/2018 20:10

Stupid cat? Hardly the cat's fault is it?

Frankswife87 · 10/10/2018 20:11

Call the vet and get advice rather than posting on here! Poor cat I hope it's ok

MuddyMoose · 10/10/2018 20:13

Have you phoned a vet?

FilledSoda · 10/10/2018 20:13

That's quite serious , you absolutely need a vet.
Poor cat.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 10/10/2018 20:13

Surely ‘stupid DD’ or ‘stupid me’ if you’re going to blame anyone? Hmm

twosunbathingdogs · 10/10/2018 20:14

I googled thinking it was an actual flavoured condom and then realised what you meant.

Hope the cats ok

anniehm · 10/10/2018 20:16

What are they made of? If it's plastic go to the vet

HildaZelda · 10/10/2018 20:19

Stupid cat? Either stupid DD or stupid you for leaving DD unsupervised, but it's not the poor cats fault Hmm
I hope by now, you're at a vet.

Ansumpasty · 10/10/2018 20:21

I would be a really irresponsible (and make believe, as I don’t have one) cat owner as I wouldn’t have worried about that- I’d presume it would pass through.
My dog would eat very long pieces of grass when picking up balls in long overgrowth and they’d come out. They’d half hang out his bottom and we would stand on it and get him to move forward. Pretty grim but he was fine.

With so many people saying they’re dangerous then you best get some professional advice.

DailyMailFail101 · 10/10/2018 20:25

Stupid Cat??? Hardly the poor cats fault your daughter offered it her, you need to go to the vets tonight.

Tinkobell · 10/10/2018 20:27

It's a vet job. No question of it. This could strangulate the cats guts and cat could die. Get to the vets first thing or even the out of hours vet tonight. Cats go down hill quickly. Please don't leave this.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/10/2018 20:28

You need to ring the vet for advice, if it gets stuck your cat will need surgery.

It could also cheesewire her intestines. Cats hide discomfort incredibly well so you wont know until it's advanced.

MakeAHouseAHome · 10/10/2018 20:29

Stupid cat!?!? I think you mean stupid child... how old is she!?

Hidillyho · 10/10/2018 20:31

How old is DD? 2, then it’s stupid you. 22 then it’s stupid dd.
Either way, you need to get the cat to a vet
