My cat is sick - please help!!!

She's 3-4 years old. Of Persian and I believe Bobtail extraction.

For the past several days now, she's been vomiting, her stool is either very liquid or has small pieces of fecal matter or sometimes both, and she doesn't want to eat. She drinks only warm water, but before that she drank regular cool water. She's visibly depressed, but still plays around. This has never happened before.

Before I take her to a vet, I got two questions:

1. Normally, is a cat's nose supposed to be cold and wet to the touch?
2. From the symptoms I described above, what could be the problem? Is it a cat's cold, some virus, maybe food poisoning?

Please help, thank you!!!

It could be really a number of things - it does not sound like an URI ("Cold")...
Take her to the vet asap, don't wait around.
Yes, the nose is supposed to be cold and moist - in general.

ABSOLUTELY!

My understanding is that if they don't eat for 24 hours, a vet visit is a must. Unless I am mistaken, liver damage can be the result of any time much over 24 hours not eating.

This time last year, our now 10 year old "tuxedo", Morgan stopped eating. 24 hours later, she was at the vet, they hydrated her and we visited her every day.

She started eating on the 4th day and came home on the 5th. She is fine now but would not have been without that vet visit.

Please, get your cat to the Vet *as soon as possible* - do not delay. It could be a partial bowel obstruction/blockage or any number of things. Time is of the essence.
