My cat ate barley and is vomiting. What should I do and when to feed?

Question

My cat has got into a dry packet of barley in the night and is naturally being sick a lot this morning, I've ensured she has fresh water and I'm keeping her inside. What else can I do and when can I feed her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old

Poor Crystal! I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
