So here's what's happened: when I got home from work today, my mum, my brother and I found the bin completely ripped apart with a polystyrene tray that had been "chewed up". There's a very good chance it was my cat, Mystic, who ate it! I only found this out a few hours ago and I haven't got any liquid paraffin! I've no idea how much she might have swallowed. What should I do? Should I take her to the vet tomorrow, bearing in mind that I'm a bit short on cash? (I'm only doing temp work over the holidays to pay for my driving licence). Or should I wait for "symptoms" to appear? (At the moment Mystic is sleeping peacefully on the bed). I'm really scared of losing her because I know it's toxic and could be fatal! Thanks a lot for any advice.

Could my cat actually die from this or not? Is there any chance she’ll pull through? I’m trying to find some friends who could take me there tomorrow before work, thanks!
I don’t have a driving licence and I live out in the countryside, there aren’t any vets near me so I need a car to get there. I know, I know, but I just don’t know what to do — no one is willing to give me a lift tomorrow...
Thanks for your messages, but I’ve just spoken to my mum and she’s refusing to take me to the vet tomorrow even if I pay for it myself, because she says she’s got way too much to do! Do you think it can wait until the day after tomorrow while I find someone to give me a lift, or not? Or should I call an out-of-hours vet? Thanks so much!
