Title: We think Darwin ate a screw....
Post by: JackSpratt on January 08, 2010, 17:14:12 PM
And after having a mental breakdown (the screw in question was left unattended for about five minutes by me) and crying a lot I called the vets. He isn't acting any differently at all so I've been advised to observe him and his "doings" over the weekend.

Has anyone else had experience of anything like this? I feel terrible and negligent and hope he poops it out soon so I can stop freaking out and know he's OK.

Any tips on dealing with a seemingly insane cat would be very much appreciated....

Panic over!  :hug:
Milly stole some meat netting once, i followed her and grabbed but she ate it so quick. Watched her like a hawk, no vomit, nothing. All poos were searched, was a big piece so should have easily spotted it. 9 days later it came up with a hairball!! I was amazed, i was starting to doubt her eating it as no symptoms but i was reunited in the end  :innocent:
