Why is my senior cat vomiting, hiding, and not eating or drinking?

Question

My cat Grazee is about 13 years old and yesterday she vomited up some white foamy stuff after eating. She went under my moms bed this morning and hasn't come out to eat or even drink water. I've been trying to coax her out but she just looks at me and she has been sleeping most of the day. My mom and i are going to morning. Well she finally cme out from under the bed and she still won't eat and I haven't seen her drink any water. She seems kind of shaky when I pet her. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Poor Grazee! It sounds like she isn't feeling well, as hiding or avoiding people can often be a sign of pain or illness. If she is also vomiting and not wanting to eat or drink, this also points to an underlying illness or issue causing her discomfort. I would bring her into a vet, especially if she doesn't want to eat or drink for more than a day, to have her examined for any issues. You can also try to entice her to eat a little by warming up some wet food or boiled chicken as cats tend to be encouraged by smells rather than flavors, however if she continues to vomit or not eat/drink, vet care is needed.
