Sounds like he is working on getting a hairball up.  Do you give him
hairball remedy at all?  Even on hair ball formula food he will get the
occasional hair ball. Do comb or brush him frequently to help with that.  He
wouldn't lie in the sun long enough to over heat himself, I'm sure.  If he
throws up most days, it might be that his food doesn't agree with him.

Hi from the Panhandle of Florida
I have had several problems with throwing up.  My female cat had very
bad hair ball problems that food would not fix.  You can purchase a cat
laxative that helps with the elimination.  If the cat has a hairball
that is too large to pass either way, surgery is the only answer.

Unfortunately the last spell of vomitting she had did not end well.
Even though I have always taken my cats for regular vet visits, she
developed a tumor that blocked the food from getting to her stomach.  

I hope your problem is a simple one.  Changing cat food must be done
slowly or the problem will get worse.  If you just suddenly change the
food the cat can develope very loose stools and the vomitting may
increase.

Good luck

Hi Mike -

Years ago before we learned about cat nutrition, we fed our cats Meow Mix
and they threw up constantly.  We thought it was normal.  The problem with
Meow Mix is that it uses inconsistent sources of protein and contains corn,
which is very hard for cats to digest as well as a possible allergen.  As
for the Hairball Control formula - no food actually prevents hairballs; it
simply makes it easier for hairballs to pass by increasing the amount of
fiber in the diet (this is the role that powdered cellulose plays in the
Meow Mix Hairball Control.)  The only way to prevent hairballs is to
constantly groom your cat to prevent them from ingesting loose fur.  A flea
comb is very effective for doing this.

Look into switching your cat to a premium food, such as Innova, Wellness,
Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, Natural Balance, Solid Gold,
California Natural, Evolve, Pinnacle, or even Nutro.  I guarantee you will
see changes in your cat's vomiting, litterbox output, fur texture, and
energy level.  The amount your cat eats will also decrease, because premium
foods contain much more digestible ingredients and less grain fillers.

Hope this helps!
