Good news!<br />
Because it was corn cat litter (not clay or crystals) it just went right through without impacting or causing any problems!<br />

I would also recommend the course I took for any animal that has ingested corn-based litter because it has worked really well.<br />

Brand is Rufus Coco, product called Wee Kitty. I have given them watered down milk .. found something to suggest it is flushable and breaks down in water. Very worried, but I think maybe corn litter is better than clay or crystals ... hopefully.
