My cat keeps vomiting, fussy, won't drink. When to see emergency vet?

Question

My cat vomited 2 times, once food and once hairballs. She ate food between the vomiting, and she was yowling before vomiting too. She is alert and playful but refused to drink water and seems a little fussy. When is time to take her to the emergency? She vomited yesterday (food) but doesnt normally vomit regularly.

I'm sorry to hear that Eggy has been vomiting and seeming fussy. In a young cat with sudden vomiting, fussy/abnormal behavior and decreased drinking, she may have a foreign body intestinal obstruction, virus, parasites, pancreatitis, or inflammatory bowel disease leading to her issues. Since she is not drinking well and continuing to vomit, it is likely that she has become dehydrated, so now is the time to take her to the emergency vet. The vet will examine her, perform any necessary diagnostic testing (likely including blood tests and x-rays), and then determine the best course of treatment. I hope this helps and that Eggy feels better soon!
