I'll keep this brief, but I was doing some homework and allowing Finnian (my three-year-old Abyssinian) to roam around in my general area. He came up to me and got a hold of a paper that is yellow colored and glossy printed. It was a promotional paper from my university. I managed to get it from him before he could chew on it but he did manage to rip a small section off of it and down it before I could stop him. It was a corner with no (black) ink but the paper itself is yellow and glossy. I know those are typically made with chemicals and I've always been really good to keep him away from these things, but he just came up so suddenly, yoinked it and took a piece off. Should I be concerned? He's never gotten a hold of colored paper before, but he does love to try and eat paper all the time. This is the first time he's managed to get a hold of one. If I should be concerned, what signs should I look for?
 
He should be fine, the amount of toxins in ink in a small piece of paper is very minimal. I really think there is nothing to worry about!
