My cat ate birdseed 2 weeks ago. She has no symptoms. Is she fine?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

Tonight will mark 2 weeks since I found a Raisin pawed out of the bird food bag along with some birdseed. I've kept a close eye on her and kept in touch with my vet over the phone off and on. Since she isn't acting any different and isn't showing any symptoms yet of AKF. He doesn't want me to stress her out by putting her in the crate and driving to see him for him to check her out since she hates car rides/crates/vets. Since it's been 2 weeks, and she hasn't changed is it possible she's fine?

Hello. Two weeks is definitely long enough to see if there was going to be any acute symptoms from eating the birdseed. It appears she will be fine, but if you do have occasion to take Miracle in to your vet, it would not be a bad idea to run some bloodwork on her.
