Here’s a list of articles on cats ingesting non-food items, it’s called PICA.

BTW, I use Yesterday's News.

If the instructions on litter say “do not flush down the toilet” because it will cause blockage, it contains sodium bentonite, and will do the same to a cat. They are not required to say so on the package, why? I don’t know. Was that your question?

At this point it's probably too late for interferon. That is a good preventative to boost the immune system, but it takes a while to start working. I euthanized all mine at the point they started eating litter, but that is a choice that only you can make. My thought are with you & your baby. I know how hard it is to see them suffer. Beth _____
