My cat ate a pad, is lethargic. Could it be a blockage even if eating?

Question

My cat ate an absorbent pad that was definately a full stomachs worth 10 hours ago I have not seen vomiting and he accepts food and water. Unfortunately he got out of the house right after and was out there a good hour so he may have vomited then. The only thing I see is lethargy I am just worried that means blockage. He defacted around 2 hours after eating the pad and I fed him a serving of wet food 5-6 hours after he ate the pad currently he is cleaning himself. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 6 lbs

Lethargy can be a sign of a blockage, but it's good that Bud is eating, drinking, and pooping. I'd keep an eye on him for now, and if he's still lethargic in the morning, have him seen by a vet. Rush him into an ER vet if he vomits, has diarrhea, stops passing feces, or stops eating. Best of luck.
