Hi everyone.


So about a week ago we got this cute little bengal kitten (4 months old) and today, she has been acting weird. She has puked 5 times over the course of the day, after which she went to sleep. When she FINALLY woke up, I got her to drink some water. She is playful, purring, and other than sniffing around her food without eating it, she looks fine. Her gums are pink and she doesn't look pained when I touch her abdomen.

I am a panicky person though, so I am very very worried. Vet won't be in before Monday... any thoughts?

Try small amounts of baby food. Was she de-wormed? Kitties can sometimes have stomach viruses. Can she have eaten something that would upset her digestive tract. Another possibility is a hairball.

And can you call the vet and ask for advice? Mine always has an emergency service on nights and weekends.

I can imagine how worried you are. Hopefully, this will pass on its own.

I agree with @seaturtle  that offering stage one chicken baby food is a good way to go if her stomach is upset.  Keep her hydrated and so long as she is otherwise acting normally you can wait until monday to contact a vet.  Has she been fully de-wormed?  There is a possibility that whatever is affecting her upper GI tract will move to the lower part of the tract so keep an eye out on her stool over the next few days.
