My cat ate a plastic bag with treats. What should I look for?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 10 months old | 13 lbs

I left a plastic bag with cat treats on the table. The bag is missing and so are almost all the treats. I have no idea which cat did it. They're both eating and drinking normally. Should I be worried?

The one thing I would be worried about is that one of them are the bag as well. This could cause an intestinal obstruction. I would monitor them for now but if either one begins to vomit or is lethargic, i would recommend going to the veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
