Cats eaten 10-20cm of ribbon. What should I do?

I was just playing with my cat, with some ribbon - the type that you use to wrap presents. He was chewing on the ribbon. He ended up swallowing it! I think it was about 10 - 20cm long.

I tried to get it out of his mouth before he swallowed it, but he ran away with it and I couldn't catch him.

To make things worse, his pet insurance policy expired on Saturday. I was supposed to renew it. But I haven't done it yet. Lesson learned.

What should I do? Will he be okay? Has anyone else's cat done anything like this? What happened? I'm worried.

@WaitingforSummer77 Did the ribbon come out naturally?

@Mia184 @Beamur The ribbon hasn't come out yet, but he seems absolutely fine! He's his usual playful self
