Re: Can cats digest bones?

I can only repeat, best wishes on these going through your cat without
incident.  Cooked bones are easily splintered.  If you ever give the cat a
bone again and I know I wouldn't, I would hope that it is raw as it is much
less likely to be able to splinter.

Best wishes on this again.
