he ate some plastic string off a toy and has been throwing that up. his temperament is fine he isn’t in pain but he’s throwing up the string
It sounds like your cat has ingested some plastic string, which is causing him to vomit. This is a common issue with cats, as they often find string-like objects intriguing. The fact that he's vomiting the string is actually a good sign, as it means his body is trying to expel the foreign object.
Since his temperament is fine and he's not showing signs of pain, you can monitor him closely for now. Make sure he has access to plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated, as vomiting can lead to dehydration. You can also offer him small, bland meals like boiled chicken or plain rice to see if he can keep food down without vomiting.
Keep an eye out for any changes in his behavior, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or signs of distress, as these could indicate that the string has caused a blockage or other complications. If you notice any of these symptoms, or if the vomiting continues for more than a day, it's important to consult a veterinarian to ensure there's no obstruction or other serious issue.
In the meantime, try to keep any string-like objects out of his reach to prevent future incidents. If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
