There's even a pretty decent chance if it eats another regular string, it will pass with no incident. But with inedible things, there's always some risk that it will be bad. If you know it's eaten string, monitor your cat for signs, like no longer eating, and watch the litterbox. Strings are not digestible, so you will see it pass. If your cat stops eating or seems distressed, take it to the vet. | |

| Jan 4, 2018 at 17:17 | comment | added | Kai | Eating things that are not food is known as pica. There are many questions already about cats and pica. Specific to string, string can be bad because it's long and can get tangled up, and possibly injure your cat internally. Tinsel, which is string like but plastic, is particularly bad. Other strings are not as risky. Make sure to keep them all away from your cat. | |
