I woke up this morning to the sound of my 6year old male cat retching. He vomited. It's been about two hours since I woke up, and so far he has vomited a total of 6 times. What he threw up is mostly foam and clear liquid a cross size of your middle/ring finger meeting your thumb. Before he would throw up a max of three times before resting for a bit in my closet and then waking up normal. He went to the bathroom, a number two (dark color, regular size) after his fourth vomit. I tried to feed him his breakfast which he sniffed and licked a few times, and then I went down to get my breakfast to eat with him. When I came back he was sitting on my bed with the bowl untouched. I put the wet food (Wellness, one of his regulars) back in the fridge. He's gone back to my closet now.
My gut tells me that he just needs to rest for a few hours (in my closet) and then he'll be fine. But I was searching for symptoms/causes on Google, and so now I'm a bit worried. Money is a bit tight so an unexpected visit to the emergency vet this month isn't feasible (his yearly check up is in May). I have to run a few errands and go to a baby shower in a few hours, but since my cat is feeling unwell perhaps I should just cancel and monitor him instead?
