it happened so fast I couldn't stop her. my husband isn't worried about it. we gave her some hair ball treaters. it was silky type material and probably a couple inches long. i don't know what to do. I showed him an article and said we should call the vet and he said he didn't think it was a big deal because it was such a small quantity. what are the under over odds here? do cats always get things stuck when they eat it or are the odds on her being ok? is it so short it probably won't wind around on anything? she's 5 months old and 6 pounds.
