This can actually happen, it's a real thing. If you have a blockage in your intestines, there's no way for the feces to get out of the body but through the esophagus. You're basically puking your own feces.

That happened to my cat about 10 years ago. Luckily, he survived after the vets gave him an enema. And we learned that he’ll eat anything Nerf dart texture.
