I am a first time cat owner. My sweet gal is named Penny. I have owned other pets, but having a cat has been a little different.
That being said, Penny got sick on Friday night (throwing up) and continued all day Saturday. She was extremely lethargic and that is not like her at all. She laid under my bed on her heated blanket most of that time, only coming out to throw up. Sunday, she was back to her regular self.
So my question is, what should cause alarm and make me take her to the vet? I was extremely anxious the whole time, since this is the first instance of her being sick. My dog, as he got older, would get sick like that at least once a week and we got used to it, he'd get better in a day or two. I am just afraid that if I downplay it, I could be harming her in the long run by not getting her checked out in a timely manner.
