Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2005Vomiting cat
One of our cats vomits quite frequently. She's about five, pure-bred Siamese, was a breeding queen, now spayed and we got her from the breeder in July. Her diet is regular Iams and water, which is what she's had all her life. When we first got her we thought the vomiting was due to the change of environment, but it has continued, perhaps three or four times a week. She is happy and active, has a kennel mate as a pal and they sleep on our bed most nights. The vet found nothing wrong with her. Anyone have any ideas please? TIA. > One of our cats vomits quite frequently.

Food? Hair? Blood? Grass? Is she throwing up food right after meals? Just food (Iams) plus some mush looks like semi-digested food. Usually throws up after eating I think, but there's always food down so I'm not sure. Definitely no blood, hair, grass bile. > What's in the vomit? Bile? Food? Hair? Blood? Grass?

Cats can throw up from simply eating too fast or from the stress of a changed/new environment. One of my previous cats did that when she first came to live with me. She was an ex-stray and may have been feeling insecure about where her next meal was going to come from. Or she could have been simply nervous and stressed about the change of environment. The vet had me try a different food for her (W/D I think, but it's been a while & I could be wrong). Eventually she settled down and stopped the up-chucking, but it took many months. It may help a bit to be sure she has a quiet, & safe place to eat, away from other animals and without lots of people coming and going all the time. Thanks for your input. I've reached about the same conclusion, these Siamese are highly strung and even though our house is large and quiet (we are two somewhat reclusive retirees) she may still be a bit stressed. I just wish we didn't have off-white carpet throughout! My cat does the same thing. She is about 4, but an orange tabby. she goes to the food bowl, chows down and almost immediately vomits it back up almost in the same form it went down except a little digested. She does this several times a week. She is also a happy loving cat. The vet kept saying it was a food allergy and to try some other different foods. I have tried almost every food i could find from expensive to very inexpensive, she pukes it all! lol so I just let her be and clean up after her. M wrote: > My cat does the same thing.

That's another common cause of throwing up right after eating. She does not seem to eat too fast....same rate as my other kitty. and its not all the time, so i am not sure. i have just learned to deal with it. my only concern is what it is doing to her throat with all the throwing up. > One of our cats vomits quite frequently.

Perhaps at times she's eating to much to fast and the result is vomiting? Just a thought. Judy Is she having to compete with your other cat for food at meal times?

Which doesn't mean she might not be bolting her food! > One of our cats vomits quite frequently.
