I just had to race my beloved cat Squirt to the vet. We found her under the couch in a pool of vomit. They are doing what the can but it's very touch and go. She might not make it. I'm totally freaking out. I love this cat so much.
Thanks everyone. We have no idea what it is. It could be some kind of toxin or an insect bite. The vet's main concerns were her low body temp. 90º and the fact that her pupils aren't responding to light. They are trying to warm her up. We will be going back to the hospital in about an hour to check on her. I didn't notice till mid morning because she's a very light eater and never comes when we feed the other cats. She is one of those once in a lifetime cats and she is almost always at my side during the day. We rescued her ten years ago from the euthanasia list at the local pound.

Could it be a scorpion? When I lived in AZ our cats were great scorp killers, but sometimes they would get stung or even eat one and had similar symptoms, especially the dilated pupils. {{{Sending your squirt positive healing thoughts.}}} I hope she pulls through.
I'm thinking that might be it. We have found one in the house a few days ago. The vet said cat's are usually immune but usually doesn't mean always. She's such a picky eater I can't imagine that she ingested something.
