Female mixed breed cat, about two and a half years old. My other cat has feline herpes, but hasn't had a flare up in the year I've had him.
A few days ago she started getting excessively clingy, but I chalked it up to my having been gone a couple days over the holidays and her generally being a very clingy cat in general (I got her at 3.5 weeks, an only cat at the time, so she's extremely attached). Since she was with me all the time, I noticed the temperature of her ears fluctuating quite greatly, from being abnormally hot to abnormally cold. Then, yesterday morning, she puked. Now, I know this isn't unusual for many cats, but it is for her; in the entire time I've owned her, she had coughed hairballs twice, but never puked up food.
Later that night, she had a sneezing fit, and sneezed up... so much snot. No discolouration or anything, totally clear, but... a lot of it. Enough that I needed to wash my bedding. It was traumatizing enough that she hid under the bed for a few minutes afterwards. But it was a lot of snot; I don't understand how it could all fit in her sinuses.
Behaviour-wise, aside from being extra clingy, she seems normal. She's eating and drinking plenty of water (she'd drank a bunch preceding the sneezing fit, so it's possible some may have gotten in her nose and irritated it?). She's keeping to her normal schedule and remains far more playful than my 1.5 year old.
I'll almost certainly take her in for a checkup once vet schedules are back to normal, but this is bad timing, since everything but emergency is closed. Because her behaviour seems unaffected, I don't think this warrants emergency, but these are unusual symptoms from her.
