Your cat's recent encounter with a lizard and subsequent vomiting, along with her lack of appetite, could be concerning and may indicate she is unwell.
- Keep a close eye on your cat's behavior and health.
- Consider potential toxins or bacteria from the lizard.
- Loss of appetite and vomiting can signify underlying health issues.
It's possible that chewing on the lizard led to your cat feeling sick, either from ingesting something harmful or due to an unrelated health issue. Cats occasionally vomit, but if her symptoms continue or worsen, she may need a veterinary examination to ensure she doesn't have an infection or has ingested something toxic.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
