Why is my cat breathing fast after eating trash? Is she okay?

Question

My 2 yr old female cat got into the trash about 3 days ago. Since then she has been breathing deal me fast. Any clue on what might be causing this? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 8 lbs

She most likely has a stomach ache if she got into human food or bones. The rapid breathing is a sign of discomfort. She looks fine in the photo but I would watch her closely to make sure she’s eating, drinking, peeing and pooping normally. If not, or this rapid breathing continues I recommend a veterinary exam to determine the cause and start treatment.
