My cat is vomiting clear liquid for 24 hours but seems normal. ER vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My 2 year old female tabby cat has been vomiting for the past 24 hours. At first it was her food then it became just a clear liquid, maybe water. She seems normal outside of this and eats and drinks like normal. She still plays and gets up to use the bathroom every now and then. I’ve got an appointment for her in a couple days but I’m wondering if I should get her to an emergency vet sooner.

It's good that you've already made an appointment as she should be checked out. I would continue to monitor and if she can't keep anything at all down for more than 24 hours, stops eating or drinking, or begins to show other signs of illness such as lethargy, pain, refusal to eat, etc, seeking emergency care sooner is best.
