I used to think my Pauli just did that exact thing (after almost every time she ate) because she ate too much/too fast. However, a few weeks ago I switched the food we are feeding to a higher quality without grains. The vomiting stopped **immediately** and has not happened since. Apparently there was something in the lower quality food she was allergic to, which caused the vomiting.

 

Hi,
I'm new to this Forum and was looking for the same answer as kittenpawz. I have 6 inside cats (free choice fed and btw none are overweight) They throw up more than any other cats I've ever had. (3 are sisters) I've tried every cat food on the market I think , including expensive, higher quality, which seemed to make it worse. One vet even told me "It's what cats do". 8O I've had cats all my life and they never threw up like these do (except for occassional hairballs of course). I notice ALL have those darned RED, BLUE and YELLOW colorings in them which I know is NOT good. I just don't get it. Anybody ELSE out there dealt with this?

 

There can be many varied reasons why a cat vomits, from a serious illness to eating something disagreeable. An occasional, isolated episode of vomiting is usually normal.

As a rule of thumb, if your cat vomits once or twice or infrequently and then goes on to eat normally, play normally, pee and poop normally and shows no signs of ill health then there probably is no reason for concern.

If your cat has chronic vomiting. (Chronic means persistent and lasting. Continuing for a long time; lingering; habitual.) then medical advice should be sought. Always check with your vet if vomiting is severe or persistent. You should also take into consideration other factors. How is your cat's general health? Is he well? Is he lethargic? Does he have other symptoms for example diarrhea or no appetite? Because vomiting in cats could signal a serious underlying disorder your vet will ask you many questions and may run tests in relation to the vomiting to determine the cause.

 

Thank you KITTEN for your reply. My cats are all completely healthy - they don't go outside but I guess if that's the 'norm' I should TIMES it by SIX and that's that. I still would like to know a GOOD HEALTHY food for them. I bought some expensive stuff that I later found out had had a 'silent recall' on ! YIKES! How SCAREY IS THAT?!?!?!?
