I had a small, really thin hair elastic sitting on the table, and my young cat (~6months) grabbed it and really quickly swallowed it! I didn't even have a chance to take it from him. He didn't choke or anything, he just swallowed it and kept playing with his sister like he normally does.
Is there anything I should do?
If it was small and unbroken, then he'll probably pass it without too much trouble.
Just keep an eye on him for the next couple of days and make sure he's still eating and voiding normally...any sign of something wrong and he'll need to get to the vet as soon as possible.
Just keep an eye on him and be extra watchful for anything abnormal, but he will almost for sure just poop it out. :) You should be extra careful in the future because he could have choked on it. Hope he's OK!
Watch him carefully for the next few days. Rubber swells in the gut, and it might not be as easy to pass as some think...if you see him start feeling distressed then get him to the Vet...

dont worry about it, my cat swallowed an elastic band and then pooped it out the next day lol. It will be fine :]
Wait for him to take a dump! :)
