Watch his food and water intake as well as if he is using his litter box. Speaking from experience, I can tell you an intestinal blockage can be difficult to ascertain yet very serious. Other signs to looks for - lethargy, excessive drooling (a sign of nausea), vomiting, struggling to use the litter box with no success.
That being said, do a thorough search of the house - did he hide it somewhere? Poop part of it out? Vomit part of it somewhere hidden (ex. Under a bed)?
If you are concerned, an xray will probably be the first course of action with the vet. They will be able to see on object or an enlarged part of the intestine. There are several non-surgical things they can try as well to help him vomit it or pass it on his own. If there is any string or edges, that can tear or puncture the intestine very easily, which is life threatening.
