Why is my cat scooting, vomiting brown liquid, and acting strange?

Question

We noticed Twinkle scooting her bum on the floor today and now (at 4am) I woke to her vomitting. I found three brown liquid pools on the hardwood floor. She hid from me at first then came out as I was cleaning. She was timid and then became more curious. Didn’t really want me petting or picking her up - which she normally loves. Otherwise seems to be acting normally. She’s an indoors only cat - 3 years old. Any ideas please? Pet's info: Cat | Egyptian Mau | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Twinkle. Obviously, it can be hard to tell from a picture, but the dark piles look like diarrhea. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian today as that is a lot of fluid to lose if she is vomiting as well. I worry that she will become dehydrated. Based on her exam findings, testing maybe recommended such as fecal tests and/or blood work. Following these results, treatment can be started. For example, fluids may be given under her her skin to rehydrate her. Anti-nausea medication will help to make her feel better as well. I hope this information helps!
