Cat Throwing Up?

I had one that threw up every day. She was the runt of the litter and all the other cats always took her food so as she got older she started scarfing down her food as fast as she could, even though she was not in danger of missing out any longer. It was apparently a neurotic thing by then. The vet told me to put clean stones in her food bowl so she had to work around them to eat, but that never worked. She just always overate too fast and then threw it up later. She lived to be 20 years old. Just passed away last November. And she never did slow down her eating habit. It really got to be a pain for me to constantly clean up after her but she was healthy and just couldn't help herself. She was a sweetheart otherwise.

Could be the cat has a hairball she's having trouble passing or she could have eaten something she shouldn't (mine keeps eating things that are plastic) or maybe the cat's just sick. But definitely if it's a daily occurrence the cat should be seen by a vet.

Your cat needs to be seen by a vet. There are numerous reasons a cat is throwing up but most of them I ruled out being it's an almost every day occurance. Could be the food your feeding it or your cat is gobbling her food down w/o chewing it.

Speculating is wasting time, you need to take your cat to the VET immediately. If a cat does not eat regulary the cat can die. Vomiting daily is not getting your cat the nutrition it needs. There is something wrong and the vet needs to be the one that decides what. It could be Pancreatitis. It could be something that is treatable easily but if you procrastinate it could turn into something complicated or unfixable. Please take your cat to the vet right away. I am not sure that I get the feeling that you are concerned, only causally asking. I am sorry if I am not understanding.

Funnily enough, the last cat I had used to do this too, he would throw up without fail everyday and I always thought that it was either something that he had eaten, or that he had eaten too fast or like you the hair thing. But although we tried various things he would still do it and also he would miaow just before, well he went missing about 3 months ago, but I have recently been told that the sickness could be due to either worms or tumours!! I will never know what was causing it for him but maybe these things could help you.

my cat throw up once because of over eating..

could be hairballs-but it also be an allergy to food dye.we had one that was sensitive to the dye in kibble.we had to find them an undyed food.he straightened out after we did.

Is your cat strictly an inside cat or is she allowed to go outside too? If she is strictly inside she might need "greens". These are the natural growing plants that cats eat to augment their diets. The various nurseries sell pots of kitty greens and the advice I received was to allow the cat to chew on them once a day but don't allow them to overdo. It helps regulate their system and eliminate the toxins and other stuff in their bodies. It also helps them keep regular (is your cat having regular poop?). I have a cat that will throw up often, and it is sometimes just because he's upset. Sometimes it's because he's constipated or that he does have hairballs. It also could be because he caught a mouse and can't digest it. It also can happen when I change food. Sometimes the anti-hairball food is too rich for the cat (some foods do seem to be too rich for some cats. I found that out the hard way.)and you need to read the bag and check the ingredients against each other and compute the amount of each on each bag. (I also was informed by a breeder that there are foods that have too much ash in them for the cats to tolerate.) Anyhow, you might want to check for a bit blander food. I had to do that with a Siamese that I had, I switched her to Iams adult formula and she tolerated it very well and stopped throwing up so often. It took some trial and error to find the food she could handle but it was worth it. You might check around and see if any place offers free samples of the cat food and that way you can test it out without spending a small fortune. I hope I have given you some help.

my cat doesn't throw up everyday, generally whenever he throws up its when he ate something that doesnt agree with him..or something like that...which doesn't really happen that much...and another reason that i know of that could make a cat throw up woudl be if they have a hairball or something like that or either if their cat food isn't agreeing with them...you could try thos ethings...

maybe she needs some grass to chew on, to cleanse her system. buy the cat a little grass square from the plant store.

How old is your cat? And how much does she weight? If she's getting older or thinner or overweight or eat too fast, throwing up could be often. But most commonly, a cat vomits because it has hairballs. I know you said she got specially anti-hairball food, but check the vomit carefully for small grayish pellets or lumps, or keep an eye on her normal behavior (usually if it's hairball problem, she will be her usual self immediately before and after vomiting). If hair ball is the problem, try some petroleum jelly or Petromalt. Also, she could be allergic to the food. Try another brand with different ingredients. Or maybe she overeats dry food? Or has worms? Anyway, I'm just a pet owner, not an expert. So if your cat throw up more that once a day, or has other changes of behavior along with this, take her to a vet. It could be stomach problems.
