My sprayed female cat two years old is suddenly vomiting fluids. Alert and playful. It's sort of acute. Something to worry about?

I am very sorry to hear that Cleo is experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. There are a number of potential causes of such clinical signs, including dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, parasite infestation, infection, and ingestion of a toxin or poison. Because you have only noticed these signs over the course of a few hours I would continue to monitor Cleo at home. Rest Cleo's gastrointestinal tract by holding back food for a few hours. Then you can continue with a bland and easily digested food of the boiled chicken breast and provide plenty of fresh water. If Cleo does not improve, has profuse vomiting or diarrhoea, you notice fresh blood, Cleo seems lethargic, in pain or depressed I would advise taking Cleo to the vet. I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Cleo feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
