Hi everyone,
I'm really worried about our 8-month-old male, Ezra. Throughout the day today, we have been finding cat vomit on the floor throughout the house, but we didn't know who it was from as we have 5 cats and they very rarely ever vomit. The vomit was mostly clear. In fact, at first I thought it was water. Tonight, I realized that I couldn't find Ezra, so I called him and he didn't come. He almost always comes running when I call him. I tried shaking a container of treats and he still didn't didn't come (he ALWAYS comes for that). I started looking all over the house and I finally found him laying on the floor behind the couch seeming not like himself. He has never gone behind the couch before. I called him, but he just looked at me and wouldn't come. I then went and got a can of wet food and opened it right in front of him, and he seemed like he might get up as he started sniffing, but he didn't. I then pulled the couch out and he got finally came out. I put the wet food down in front of him and he took a few sniffs and seemed like he might eat (he normally LOVES to eat and would eat all day if we let him), but he didn't eat and just vomited clear liquid, which is the same type of vomit I've been finding all throughout the house today; however, earlier today, he seemed to be acting normally. He is now hiding underneath our treadmill. Again, TOTALLY unlike him. This cat normally has a ton of personality and is very attached to me and is never very far from me. I just can't imagine what could be going on with him. He never isolates him himself like this and and this is the first time he has ever vomited. He's normally a very social boy. He has been vomiting all day. I just didn't know it was him until he did it in front of me just a few minutes ago. He is such a young cat, only 8 months old. He was seen at the vet a month ago when he was neutered and the vet examined him and said he was very healthy. All of our cats are strictly indoor cats and never go outside. I'm wondering if he somehow got into something in the house that he shouldn't have, but I can't imagine what. I do know that he was totally fine late last night/early in the morning and was running around the house and playing like crazy, so this all came on suddenly today, probably in the morning as my husband and I first found the vomit on the floor when we got up around 10 this morning. However, he did also seem fine this afternoon, even after we first noticed the vomit. We got a couple of packages delivered from UPS this afternoon and he was playing in the boxes. Other than that, I'm not sure what he was doing the rest of the day as I was busy working all day (I work from home). I don't know if he has been using the litter box as we have 5 cats, so it's impossible to tell. Unfortunately, it's a Friday night so all the vets are closed until Monday morning and we don't have an emergency vet anywhere near us. Can anyone offer any advice??? I'm SO worried! Out of all of our cats, I've developed the closest bond with him and we've had him since he was 8 weeks old. I'm worried sick and I have a feeling I'll be up most of the night keeping an eye on him!
