Poor little Sian is 'off her feed' this morning

I suspect she's the one who threw up. Last night she was fine and full of energy. Of course, I'm worried.

She's sleeping on one of my shirts so I'm just going to let her be, for now.

2. She could be over eating.

You mentioned that she has taken to raiding Arthur's food bowl so you might want to wake her up for her regular morning meal so she doesn't binge at feeding time. She may not eat, but it's always best to keep the kitties on a routine if possible.

I'll also put a water bowl close to her, and maybe a little kibble.

4. Hopefully she's OK. Maybe just a furball.

Might want to think about keeping her isolated so if she did pick up a virus she won't spread it.
Probably too late, but you never know.

I'm heading out to buy some Vernors Ginger Ale for me and some gentle food for her. Maybe we will both just go back to bed.

5. Do you have houseplants?

If so, I would check them for bite marks. Sometimes kitties will take a bite out of a plant that isn't good for them.

I hope she feels better quickly.

8. Nothing cat toxic. I haven't even cut any Daffodils to bring inside.

She was feisty and fine, last night.

I'm not feeling to keen, either, so once I get home we will both just snuggle in.

She did purr for me.

9. Well...

Kitties have their days. Sometimes, once the bad stuff is out of the tummy, everything goes back to normal after a good sleep.

Probably just a good snuggle in day.

That's what my plan is, snowing and chilly so I'm just going vegetate and work on my braided rug, it could be done this week if I keep at it. It will be 70" around when finished. I'll post pictures when I get it back on the floor.
