In any apartment there are many completely inedible things that a cat, nevertheless, would not mind trying to taste.

Sometimes such unhealthy interest becomes the reason for the animal to be hospitalized.

If you truly love your pet, you should familiarize yourself in advance with the signs that will help you recognize that your cat has swallowed something wrong.

Symptoms of foreign body ingestion include vomiting immediately after eating food or vomiting multiple times throughout the day regardless of feeding.

Another telling sign is the absence of stool for 1-2 days.
