Don't worry about it, cats have been eating bones for a million years. A couple cooked chicken bones will do no harm at all. Merry Christmas.

Although it's not a good idea to give them these types of bones it doesn't mean you cat is in danger. If he's not choking or showing signs or distress don't fret. I know you learned something from this though and chicken bones will never be left somewhere where kitty kat can get ahold of them again!

i thnk its a mith about chicken bones?
we have 7 cats at home (ok we dont give them the bones),
but there is a huge family of strays just down th track from us living in the bins with about 200 houses each day dumping the rubish.
so that would be food and chiken bones lamb bones you name it will proberbly be there!
but just keep an eye out as it could be a little rich for him or her.

don't give him milk, milk can make your cat sick. just watch your cat, if he starts vomiting or acting painful take him to the vet. he probably didn't get any of the bone, but keep a close eye on him. good luck.
what part of don't give him milk did you misunderstand? it may take days to know, if you're really worried take him to the vet they can x-ray him and see where the bones are or if there are any at all. if they're still in his stomach then he might be in trouble, but you won't know until they x-ray him. good luck.

He will live don't worry, it's just that chicken bones break up and poke all the insides and can cause bleeding. If you see any blood in his poop then go to the vet.

You usually don't have to worry about cat's chocking on chicken bones because their bite is specially designed to handle crushing bird bones to get at the marrow inside. Only dogs have chicken bone troubles because the only chew enough to swallow allowing bone shards down their throat that get stuck.

no milk just watch it carefully. if it chokes call the vet, if it vomits check the vomit for chicken bones if some are found thats a good thing if not call the vet

As long as there is no blood in the stool I think he should be ok. Had a cat that did that too....he wasn't that young, but its still nerve racking just the same. After a few hours he was the same as always, and fine!

If you give your cat milk it can kill him. See milk has parasites in it that are serriously harmful, and sometimes fetal for cats.
Chicken bones won't hurt cats if they're not dry. as long as it was just recently cooked or fresh then he'll be fine.
