Cat just ate paper cupcake holder - will he die?

[lockdownalli]

Fucking idiot.

M&S had some cupcakes on yellow sticker so I bought a pack of two and settled down to eat one with my cuppa when I got back. Bastard Cat seemed very interested when I popped wrapper down, but I thought he was just going to lick the leftover hundreds and thousands etc.

I have just looked and he has actually eaten 90% of the paper cupcake wrapper

He's an outside cat so I won't know if it affects his digestion.

Please tell me I don't have to go to the vets?

Loving the stories of crazy pets! Makes me miss my labrador (too many food related stories to count)

Cat is fine - eating and acting normally. I think he sicked it up, although I did like the idea of him wiping his own arse with the paper as it emerged

Why are cats like this? My black cat jumps onto bath and starts drinking the water and all the bubbles specifically if i put lavender oil in it which I think is toxic.

She also ate 2 mini Reece's peanut butter cups complete with wrappers. She didn't die

Two of my cats do this sort of thing all the time. They also eat plastic, styrofoam, and cosplay foam. Pieces of some shoes are fair game as well. We do our best to keep their favorites locked away, but they are persistent. So far it has never meant more than some interesting poop.

My lab poos out entire Lego figures with their little smiling faces glowing out the poo

The best one was an angry face man

I'm sure he'll be fine.
One of mine likes to gnaw on a kitchen roll like it's a corn cob if she can get her little paws on one.

Our 9 month old kittens will eat anything. DD was able to go to school a few weeks ago and tell the teacher quite truthfully that the cat ate her homework (she had redone it, though).

My go to remedy is hairball treatment it kind of lubricates the exit so things move along faster

I will never forget the laminatta disaster of 06 when my previous cat ate it off the tree we didn't know then he pooped and it came out like festive shite on a string ran because it was stuck to his butt I had to rugby tackle him lie on him and clean it up my plan was to snip the excess and rush him to the vets for removal but as soon as I sat in him he fired it out his arse so fast it was like gunfire which was great it was out! But sadly it was out on my carpet which had brown spots on it 😕 do you have any idea how hard it is to clean up brown poop from a brown spotty carpet? All day calls of FOUND A BIT MORE 😭

Oh, this thread has taken me back a few years.

Paper cupcake cases were my dear departed cat's favourite delicacy! Also the lemon cream bit out of lemon puff biscuits. She lived to the ripe old age of 20 so I don't think it did any harm. I feel a bit now though because it never even occurred to me that it might be a bad thing. After the first one, eaten by "accident" in much the same way as yours, OP, we would give her a cupcake case as a treat every now and then

We had similar. Our late dog developed some sort of doggy dementia before he died and part of it manifested in chewing paper. He ate some of Ds1;s english homework. We found out the morning it was due. I wrote the teacher a note beginning; 'You are not going to believe this but.... '

Years ago we had 4 cats, one was feral but tamed. One of them caught a mouse and left it to rot on the patio. For some reason my parents didn’t move it and the ants ate all its fur so now it’s a skinless rotten mouse baking in the hot sun.

I went to move it while was feral girl was around and she shot forward and ate it 🤮🤮🤮

One of my neighbour's cats visits us, is utterly gorgeous, so sweet but utterly bonkers. He is obsessed with ear wax, will lick inside our ears. He has now destroyed 3 digital hearing aid tubes and the umbrella thingy on it.I didnt find them so assumed he had eaten them. I was distraught, went straight over to tell his owner. She just laughed and said he eats the strangest of things, especially lumps of wood.!! He was totally fine. My husband now keeps them in a drawer, but the little sod broke into the drawer 😁
