Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 lbs
I am really freaking out right now, my cat might have ate the paper wrapper from a large muffin that was sitting on a plate. She grabbed it and ran off with it and I can't find it. The emergency vet said that it will likely disolve and that if it were her cat in this situation she would just watch her instead of bringing her in and inducing vomiting. What should I do?

If it was paper, it should indeed pass on it's own. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. Have her examined by your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop. Unfortunately, we can't tell you what to do, but neither option would be "wrong".
