She's vomiting--clear stuff only--and hiding under the bed, which she usually doesn't do. I'm thinking she's just having a tough time passing a hairball, and that it's probably not worth $200 to take her to the emergency vet on a Sunday. But I would do that in a heartbeat if I thought there was something seriously wrong here. Can someone help?

How long has she been vomiting? If not for long, I'd keep a close eye on her until tomorrow. Of course you don't want her to become dehydrated. I'd definitely take her to the vet tomorrow if she is still having trouble. Poor kitty.

Make sure she didn't get into something that poisoned her. Whenever my male vomits up white, clearish liquid (looks like snot), it's usually because he ate something he shouldn't have. Last year, he was throwing up every morning without fail....turns out, he was chewing on the branches of our artificial Christmas tree. Spraying the tree with bitter apple and giving him his sleeping spot back (he didn't chew it until he was prohibited from sleeping under it) eliminated the problem.
If the cat is hiding under the bed, odds are she doesn't feel well. Has she been out and active at all, or does she just come out to vomit, then go back under? If she's JUST vomiting and hiding, she needs to be seen by someone. Whether or not you should wait until tomorrow is a judgement call on your part.

If your cat is vomiting and hiding under your bed and hiding is not normal for her, is she growling when you try to touch her? is she lethargic (sleepy)?, Is there a possibility that she got into something? If she is not herself, hiding and vomiting, I would say take her to the emergency vet.

Normal, healthy cats vomit occasionally, but it could be a sign of panleukopenia, feline distemper. If she has been vomiting chronically or excessively. I strongly suggest you make a phone call to the vet, at the very least.

Vomiting water and hiding - not good signs. How much do you love your cat? How much do you love the contents of your wallet? Make a choice.

If she was just vomiting and no other changes, I'd say take her first thing in the morning. But because she is exhbiting behaviors that are unlike her (i.e. hiding), I fear something serious may be going on. If you can afford it, take her.

Need more details. How long has this been going on? When was the last time she ate or drank or gone in the litter box? Is she lethargic and acting sick?
