My pregnant cat swallowed a thread. She seems fine, should I worry?

Question

My cat moon has swallowed a cotton thread while playing and now she is behaving normally and she is a pregnant cat. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female

If she swallowed a short thread (so up to 5-6cm long), she should be fine. Long cotton threads pose risk of developing linear foreign body, which is when one end of the thread is anchored in the stomach and the rest of the thread is in the small intestine. You need to monitor Moon closely for the next 2-3 days. If she starts to vomit, goes off her food and become lethargic, you need to take her to your local vets as an emergency.
