Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 8.75 lbs

My cat keeps eating baby wipes and I think somehow just ate one now. It's organic baby wipe from bambo nature. Will she be ok?

Hi, Wipes can cause an obstruction please monitor if any signs reduced activity, reduced appetite, vomiting, diarrhea. If any of the signs start take to vet immediately. Keep her indoor so you can monitor her closely including monitor the litter box. Please keep away the wipes closed in a box and keep her away from the room while you use the wipes . Good Luck
