Velcro's sick.

I woke up about midnight to her hurking nearby, and got up to clean it up - she managed to fill up my bra with the stuff, and get it all over my pants leg. It was also pale in color, so I didn't notice another pile over on the beige rug as I was clumping over to the hamper. Ew. Squishy cat puke between the toes. Way, WAY grossed out.

Cleaned up (disinfected!) myself and went back to bed. Another round of puking, on Jake's side, this time. Cleaned that up. We were wide awake by this point, and had no sleep for several hours after. Cat puked again, this time out in the study.

Slept in a little this morning, but Velcro's not bounced back from this one... she hasn't asked for breakfast or offered to get up, she's just curled up miserably upstairs. That in itself is unusual - she's almost always on the same floor I'm on. She purrs when I pet her, and then just puts her head back down.

I'll keep an eye on her, and if she's not feeling better by the time I go into town, I'll put a call into the vet. Poor kitty! Makes me wonder what she ate. The last and only other time she's been like this, Jake was also, and the culprit was undoubtedly bad pizza. I can't find anything that would have caused it this time.

EDIT: I think she'll live. She just came downstairs, not real perky, but went at once to her food dish and glared at me when she discovered it was empty. She's drinking now.

It definitely sounds like you should take her in to the vet..... :(

Awwwww. Poor kitty!

May I suggest getting a bottle of pedialite? If she's not keeping anything down, it might help her bounce back quicker. If she won't drink any on her own, an eyedropperfull every couple hours should get her back in the pink.

That's a good sign that she's eating and drinking now...she should be OK. Poor kitty, I hope she is better soon!

How old is she? If she is around 7ish she may be developing a thyroid condition. If you notice her drinking a lot more water than normal, losing any weight and keeps up vomiting a lot off and on every few days, be sure and have her checked. I hope she just has an upset tummy and feels all better soon! xoxoxox

How old is she?

Exactly the same thing happened to Fisen some weeks ago. We took him to the vet and it turned out that he had chronical lowered kidney and liver function. It's very common with older cats. He's on a special diet now and doing fine, but if they have problems, then the sooner you get them on the diet the better.

I hope it's just a case of kitty vomitting and nothing serious. :)

Here's hoping Velcro feels better soon! Both me and Zorro send best wishes her way!

Soon as they start glaring for food, they're probably gonna be ok. Hopefully it's over.

Glad to hear that your cat is responding better now. Hope it really was just a case of a tummy upset and that it won't happen again.
