Not sure where else to inquire about this, but i got hime from wirk and gave my cats some shrimp temptations. I rarely ever give them treats, but i figured why not. Nini was hesitant about them at first but ate 3-4, then she started to make puke sounds and puked a bit. Only the treats and some bile came out, and she seems to have stopped.

Did she have an allergic reaction? She seems to be relatively fine now, maybe a bit sluggish. In the year that i have had her this is only the second time she has puked, and the first time was maybe a month ago.

If you’re concerned about the health of your pet you should probably consult a veterinarian not people online.

Taking a cat to the vet because it threw up once is just going to be a waste of everyone's time and money.

There's many dozens of benign reasons for a cat throwing up, including it being a behavioral issue. A single occurrence is by no means a reason to worry. It would be like taking a kid to a pediatrician because they sneezed.

When it's a frequent occurrence that you should worry. Once is an event, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.

I get that, but it's also 6 pm on a Friday. The closest emergency vet is 50 miles away and the cat seems to be ok. I'm just trying to gauge if that's a common reaction for cats, similar to how i would be asking around if i just had a puke the first time i ate a Snickers bar

Pick up the phone and call the vet.
