My cat puked plastic 7 times today. Is an emergency vet visit needed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 7 lbs

Cat has been puking all afternoon, puked up some plastic and we're worried bc she's puked 7 times today. Seems mostly fine otherwise. Should we wait it out or see a vet now?

I would take Moony to a vet ASAP especially if she is vomiting up plastic. She obviously ingested something she shouldn't have. Vomiting 7 times in one day is very serious and could be an indication of an intestinal obstruction. The sooner she is treated, the better. I do not suggest you wait. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
