My cat ate a rubber band and is still throwing up. What to do?

Question

Good afternoon. My cat vomited three times this afternoon. It seems she ate a rubber band a few days ago. The first time she puked a long piece of rubber band came out. Then she went to her food bowl and ate but after like two hours she threw it up. Then again she ate a little bit and after an hour or two threw up again. There was no rubber band pieces coming out the last two times. What should I do? She is an indoor cat, 5 years old. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear about Ruby. With a history of ingesting foreign objects in a kitty who is still vomiting then I would highly recommend a visit to her vet for an exam and x-ray. While she did vomit a piece of rubberband, we don't know if there is more of it in her intestinal tract causing problems or if she ate something else entirely. I would get her in to see her vet right away, because if she does have an obstruction, delaying treatment can cause further complications/risks. Best of luck!
