It sounds like your cat is experiencing vomiting of a white foamy substance and has lost interest in her food, which is understandably concerning given her usual appetite.
- Monitor her closely for any additional symptoms
- Ensure she is staying hydrated
- Consider a vet visit if symptoms persist or worsen
Vomiting white foam in cats can often indicate an empty stomach or irritation, but it can also be a sign of more serious conditions such as gastrointestinal issues or ingestion of a foreign object. It's important to monitor her closely, and ensure she's drinking water. If she continues not to eat or shows other symptoms like lethargy or diarrhea, a visit to the vet is advisable.
