Everything you want to know about glitter is here. It’s probably plastic, but maybe not. Either way don’t inhale it. Even the companies selling glitter capsules and suggesting you can shit glitter poo have labels on the package that the glitter isn’t to be consumed. But that’s because we love to sue each other. I bet your cat is fine.

Spilled glitter is like energy. It can be moved from place to place, thinned out, controlled, but never entirely eradicated.

Ingesting or inhaling it is almost certainly not beneficial.
