We all know that plastics are very harmful to us, even the microplastic that we unknowingly eat into our food can theoretically make us sick but what if your cat accidentally eats one whole of plastic?
This is what happened to the cat of the Tiktok user named tacobellycat.
on 2021-7-7, tacobellycat posted a video captioned “I WANT TO CRY MY POOR BABY” on Tiktok.
In the first second of the video, you will notice that the cat is seemingly biting a plastic, which is why the person behind the camera placed a text in the video “I thought he was just playing with the plastic”. No one would think that the cat is doing something bad to it since we know that cat knows that plastic is not food, so we think that the cat is obviously just playing on it
However, as you watch more into the video, you will notice that the cat’s face is not playing, it almost feels like it’s having trouble with something, the cat continues to chew the plastic without it stopping. Most people would think that something is definitely going wrong here.
After a few seconds, seemingly worried, the owner finally took off the plastic from the mouth of the cat, though what happened next shocked the internet.
The cat was actually trying to eat the plastic, and when the cat wasn’t able to swallow it further, it just kept chewing on it which the owner thought the cat was playing with. Luckily the owner removed the plastic from the mouth of the cat or else it would be really bad for the cat if that big of plastic was swallowed whole.

This video on TikTok now had millions of likes and views and is being shared on various platforms to inform cat owners in order to avoid accidents like this from ever happening.
Even swallowing just a little bit of plastic can cause a deadly bowel obstruction to the pet, so it’s vitally important to respond as quickly as possible by taking your pet to the emergency vet if you suspect or know your pet has swallowed plastic.
