My cat ate Christmas decor, now vomiting green. Is it an emergency?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 7 months old

We have Christmas decorations up which include garland and Christmas tree. One of my cats just throw up 4 times in a row and you can see green stuff in the vomit. Not sure if it’s poisonous or if he’s going to be okay now.

It may not be toxic but it can cause an obstruction. Given that Misha is throwing it up, he should see a vet now. Please take him 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.
