My cat ate a fuzzy sock, threw up, and now won't eat. What to do?

Question

My cat got a hold of a fuzzy sock and ate some of the fuzz. Almost immediately she threw up clear fluid and the fuzz. But she's barely eating now? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 months and 19 days old

Likely Bean is experiencing some stomach upset eating the fuzz and vomiting. 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, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
