Oh yeah, doesn't EVERYONE go to SF?!?

Yes, but some forget to put flowers in their hair.

Devi did the hairball puking and didn't eat or drink much for a day until the goo kicked in once. As long as she's perky and has access to water, I wouldn't worry about dehydration.

And then there was the time she ate a whole buttermilk biscuit. I didn't know a 5 lb (at the time) creature could produce so much...stuff.

Poor Ruby. Did she attempt to eat anything after vomitting?

She tried to eat a bit of dry food, but that came back up.

Is she taking water and keeping the water down?

Poor Ruby. I could be that her tummy is sore after the ribbon. But in my experience throwing up more than once is not good.

ETA: By not good, I mean it ended up being a trip to the vet.

Crazy New Yorker:

The game was delayed for four minutes in the eighth inning when an 18-year-old fan, Scott Harper of Armonk, N.Y., plummeted about 40 feet from the upper deck onto the netting behind home plate.

"That was the only exciting thing that happened today," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said.

Harper told three friends he was sitting with that he was going to test whether the net would hold his weight -- and then he jumped, Det. Kevin Czartoryski said.

Is she taking water and keeping the water down?

This is the primary thing, I think. I wouldn't leave any food out for her while you were gone, but I would leave water. I don't know how long a cat can go with out food. I do know with babies (and really, all humans), it is not important that they eat until the vomitting has passed. They do need liquid, though. And the pediatricians often stress that if you give them [whatever] that makes them vomit, in an attempt to get them not to dehydrate, they lose more than if they'd not taken in anything.

SEOUL, South Korea --A 28-year-old South Korean man died of exhaustion in an Internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, South Korean police said Wednesday.

Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu who was identified only by his last name, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping, refusing to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft.

Lee was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors are presuming was a heart attack, police said.

Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.

Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea, home to professional gamers who earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches.

I wonder if he threw a clot or something. Yikes.

Cats are carnivores and are made to go long periods without eating, just as they would if they were hunting prey. I second Cindy--take the food away and leave water out. Check her out after work, and if her stomach is still upset, off to the vet with ther.
