There are also furball formula foods. Or you can ask your vet. > every 3 months or so, my cats will vomit out their semi-digested > regular food onto the floor for no reason at all. what causes cats > vomit? As the other person said, hair's the most likely cause. My cat (born last June) didn't do this until a week ago. It coincides nicely with spring, and shedding, I think. We're brushing her like crazy. I've also seen puke that didn't seem to contain much hair. I think they do this because they ate something nasty, or simply to test our loyalty. >As the other person said, hair's the most likely cause.

Bear in mind cats are constantly grooming themselves. That hair invariably gets swallowed, which is what they occasionally have to cough up. Besides hair balls, another cause can be allergic reactions to certain foods, and yet another can be inactivity after over eating. I can't feed my Big Mama certain processed foods. Soon as she eats them, she'll throw-up. > Besides hair balls, another cause can be allergic > reactions to certain foods, and yet another can > be inactivity after over eating. > I can't feed my Big Mama certain processed foods. > Soon as she eats them, she'll throw-up. What kinds of processed foods do this to her? > What kinds of processed foods do this to her? Just to clarify, I was refering to the certain types of cat food. She can't eat Tender Vittles or most other soft nuggets. Something in them that's she's allergic to. >> What kinds of processed foods do this to her? > > Just to clarify, I was refering to the certain types of cat food. > She can't eat Tender Vittles or most other soft nuggets. > Something in them that's she's allergic to. OK - I thought you were giving her Fritos & artichoke dip. If you do that, and don't include beer, she *will* get sick. >Besides hair balls, another cause can be allergic >reactions to certain foods, and yet another can >be inactivity after over eating. >I can't feed my Big Mama certain processed foods. >Soon as she eats them, she'll throw-up. That is why it is a good idea to examine what has been thrown up to see what it is. Coughing up furballs is normal, coughing up blood is not. If you have doubts about normalcy and coughing up consult your vet. > Besides hair balls, another cause can be allergic > reactions to certain foods, and yet another can > be inactivity after over eating. > I can't feed my Big Mama certain processed foods. > Soon as she eats them, she'll throw-up. Eating too quickly also seems to cause it. I give my cat wet food once a week or so as a treat, and if I put the whole tin (Fancy Feast - 85g) in her bowl she will return to it several times to eat and then within ten minutes she's thrown it all up. If I take the same wet food and just put a small portion of it (a little less than half) in her bowl, she'll finish it and keep it down. ttyl, Amur_ >every 3 months or so, my cats will vomit out their semi-digested >regular food onto the floor for no reason at all. what causes cats >vomit?

I would like to inquire as to the cleanliness of your house in general and your floor in particular. Your cat may simply be disgusted with your housekeeping skills. If you clean your house every 3 months or so, then I would say that is the reason. Cats can also become very jealous. If your cat is jealous, it may vomit in order to say, "Excuse me, I'm feeling rather jealous at the moment. I would appreciate it if you would stop fondling the chihuahua and return your Teledyne Touch to me." Do you live in Hollywood? I have heard some chatter regarding a serious Bulimia epidemic affecting felines of the Stars. The poor cats have watched their famous people binge and purge for so long that they have acquired the trait themselves. It is rather sad to see. I'm guessing this is probably your situation. You must seek professional help for your kitty. An intervention is not out of the question. We will all pray for you. >Cats can also become very jealous.
