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.

If she continues to have a good appetite, then I think you can continue to monitor at home. Try really hard to find where she is finding the plastic to eat. Small bits of plastic could cause enough irritation to the esophagus and stomach to lead to vomiting. If at any time she seems lethargic, has belly pain, if the vomiting becomes more frequent than once a day, or she has a decreased appetite, she should go to the vet right away.
