My cat is vomiting, drinking lots, biting abdomen. ER or wait?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat has vomiting f2f weeks small amounts at the time we thought it was hairballs. Today she has started to drink a lot of water like all her water at once. She's also grooming excessively. And biting at her abdomen. I have made an appointment with her veterinarian on Monday I want to know if this will keep or should I take her to emergency medicine.

Your poor kitty! As long as she is able to keep down the water she is drinking, is eating, isn't vomiting her food, and isn't very lethargic, then it's fine to wait until Monday. Should she start vomiting water, refusing to eat, vomiting her food, or becomes very lethargic, then I would take her into an ER vet. I hope this helps!
