No, the dog didn't eat the broken pieces of ceramic. Yes, she was a dog, but she did limit herself to organic matter as food. She licked all the cat food off the ceramic pieces and didn't cut her tongue or prick her gums. She ate the wooden bowl.
That's what I was trying to say. Most animals do limit themselves to - things that were once animals or plants -- as food. That was supposed to help your worrying. It still should. Cats are much picker about what they consider food than dogs.
I think your pawed the bowl out of the way, so he could play with the box. Cats have a thing about boxes.
As I said, I understand worrying and that the minute you solve one thing you'll find another even if you have to go back in history. I'm serious about the bowl and I'm very serious about the trash can. If you can't keep it in the house hang a small bucket from two cup hooks on the bottom of a high shelf. When kit tries to get the trash the bucket will swing and he'll have to jump down. It will also make you put the trash out every day.
You're going to be fine. It'll take awhile to get the hang of catting but it will happen. Being OCD is better for you cat than if you were too casual and left dangerous stuff like pins and needles all over the place. You do know to put all sewing things and dental floss in a box with a fitted lid or a plastic jar with a top, right? Next to poisonous house cleaners, sewing things are the most dangerous things in my experience. Once you've got those two groups under control you are in a very good place.
