My cat ate felt from a toy. Is he okay? What signs should I watch for?

Question

My cat has been playing with a stick toy that has two pieces of felt on it, the felt is roughly 1” by 3” long. I noticed today one of the pieces is missing and I don’t know if he ate it. I can’t find the piece anywhere. Will he be okay? Do I need to bring him in to see someone? He’s eating and acting normally. What do I need to watch out for? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 8 years and 10 months old | 17 lbs

If Atlas seems OK, I would keep an eye on him while you continue to search for the item. Signs to look out for of a possible obstruction include vomiting, diarrhea, attempting to vomit without being able to, loss of appetite, lethargy or pain in the abdomen. A cat that isn't feeling well may also try to hide or become less social. If you do see these signs, or suspect that the item was ingested, it is best to bring Atlas into your vet for care.
