My 16 year old boy has always been a barfy cat. Poor guy rarely goes 2 weeks without barfing. No one's ever found anything wrong though. Just recently I noticed something though after all these years. Not sure if it's new ir not, but, he'll be laying in bed with me, 45 minutes to an hour after he last ate, and he'll jump up and down off the bed because he's got to vomit (good boy for getting off the bed!) and within a few minutes of vomiting, he'll be in the litter box, too. Which just strikes me as unusual. If he's just barfed up the last meal he had, why need the litter box at the same time?
My theory with his persistent, life long vomiting, has always been over eating. I've never seen him eat too much, but after 16 years it's all I've got. Recently I thought about drinking too much; he'll sit and drink for 5 minutes straight sometimes. Anyway I just wanted to run it by others, because I know he hates it, and older as he now is, I worry about it more, even if it's been a life long issue. He's got no other symptoms of illness. Occasionally people suggest diabetes, because he lives to drink, but he doesn't have any symptoms and never tests positive either.
Any spit balling, ideas, are appreciated. :grin2:
