Depending how long the floss was, it could be a serious problem. You should probably take her to the vet, just to be safe. It would be terrible if it developed into something serious.

If you are REALLY worried about it, you can always take DD to a vet to have her x-rayed to make sure the floss isn't hung up in her intestines someplace. However, things that are more likely to block or get hung up or puncture their intestines are pins, paper clips, pieces of wood, bones, and other things like that. A piece of soft dental floss shouldn't bother her, unless, of course, it was the whole container. You can feed her wet food--that seems to increase their stools. You can also give her petromalt, a hairball remedy, to speed things along. I wouldn't panic. But if you notice she stops eating and starts acting 'weird', then a trip to your vet is definitely called for. And, keep an eye on her if she's one of those kitties with an insatiable interest in what she should not eat (like my Iz) ;-)
