So one of my idiot neighbors left a fake plant in the foyer area they're not supposed to access - it's just for my cat Smo. It has a bunch of long fake grass and some flowers, all some sort of tough fiber/plastic material. I wasn't aware they put this there until Smo vomited this evening around 10pm (it's now midnight) - first she vomited a hairball, then a pile of liquid, then another pile of liquid with a blade of fake grass.
I'm not sure why she ate the grass at all since I doubt it smells anything like real grass (which she enjoys eating), but there were at least seven 1-2 inch long pieces of it mixed in with a hairball. I'm hoping she got most of it out because the bulk of it was tangled up in her hairball, but I can't be sure. It's been a couple hours since she threw up and she's been acting normal the whole time. I fed her a hairball treat, saw her eat some dry food and drink some water. She's now asleep in bed.
Does she need to see a vet for this? And what concerning behaviors do I need to look out for?
