My cat threw up after acting strange. Seems better, should I worry?

Question

My cat was acting out: hissing, not wanting to be touched, scratching, stuff out of the norm for her. Finally, after a few hours, she threw up twice within five minutes. After that, she seemed exceptionally better. She hasn't been lethargic, she's holding down water, she's eaten a small amount. Should I still be worried or has she likely cared for herself?

Time will tell with this one. Since she's eating, drinking, and not lethargic, you certainly don't need to seek emergency care tonight. If tomorrow she still seems out of sorts, or continues to vomit, I would recommend scheduling a vet appointment for exam and x-rays of her abdomen.
