My cat ate a Hershey's Kiss ribbon. Should I worry about toxicity?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Know those little paper ribbons from hersheys kisses that stick out of the foil that the choclate gets wrapped in, that tell you 'cherry, Milk, Dark' ect? my cat grabbed a 'dark' one from the floor when I went to throw it away & she picked it up when I missed the trash and it was in her mouth before i could grab it right away, however after a short chase i got it from her Do i need to worry about any chocolate toxicity, even if it didnt have any chocolate, nor could i see any chocolate smears?..

I know exactly what you mean. That was naughty of your kitty to grab one and eat it! There's no need to worry, she will be just fine since there was no chocolate on the ribbon. Good job getting it away from her :-)
