My cat ate a plastic bag. Should I worry if she's acting normal?

Question

My cat ate a small piece of plastic bag (about 1in x 4in) about 15 min ago. She swallowed it before we were able to get to her. So far, she's acting normal with no signs of choking. I want to avoid going out unless its absolutely necessary because of coronavirus. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 8 lbs

A small piece should be able to pass sometime in the next 12-36 hours. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
