Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian first thing this morning. Try to offer her small amounts of water to keep her from becoming dehydrated. She will likely need laboratory work to determine the source of her illness. Cats are unfortunately skilled at hiding signs of illness. So by the time they are visibly showing signs, they require immediate care. I hope this information helps!
