My cat is vomiting, has diarrhea, won't eat or drink. Is it serious?

Question

My cat Rayven, is very ill. A few hours ago, she has been vomiting white, foamy liquid that lingered in the carpet afterwards. Now she is not eating or drinking-not even her favorite foods or from a water bottle like she will always without fail. She also had watery, mid-brown diarrhea in our tub. Along side physical symptoms, she is also acting distant- not coming to me. Ray is 12 years old and slightly overweight. We have her charcoal, but she committed it out.

Poor Rayven does sound very ill at the moment. It's quite serious when an elderly cat stops eating and drinking, and not drinking is bad for her kidney health. She can easily become dehydrated from not drinking, vomiting, and diarrhea. Given her age and her combination of symptoms, I think it's best she sees a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
