Thanks for the feedback. Meanwhile, we spoke with her regular vet who
advised holding off on surgery for now (we're at 38 hours). They advised
increasing the laxative dosage. Surgery carries its own risks, and they
are advising us to wait and see for the next day or so. So far the cat
is giving no signs of distress, eating well, and pooping normally.

I just hate the idea of her intestines being chewed up! This is so
stressful.


I sympathise. One of our cats ate a piece of a shoelace once. Thank
goodness she was okay - the vet gave her an enema and was able to remove
it. It was only 6 inches though.

I hope your kitty turns out to be all right.
