Under normal circumstances, if a kitten eats only a small amount of tissue paper, it usually will not cause major problems. Owners can observe the cat’s condition; if there is no vomiting, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite, there is no need to worry.
However, if the cat eats a large amount of paper and the tissue material is hard to digest, it may cause intestinal blockage, leading to digestive discomfort and vomiting. If the owner notices vomiting, arched-back abdominal pain, or reluctance to move, take the cat to a veterinary clinic promptly.
