when one of my cat vomits.. gosh it´s nightmare! just for the records I just want to ask does your cat vomit? how often? what did you do?

Yes, my cat vomits. He has done this ever since a kitten. What I did was to discuss this with his vet. He eats and drinks too fast, according to the vet, and this causes him to periodically throw up his food. I´m not sure how often, because it varies, but I would say at LEAST once a month. If you haven´t already, you really need to talk to your vet about this. This could be caused by LOTS of things, including food allergies. It needs to be addressed by your vet.

Yes, my two vomit. Usually it a question of hariballs, once in a while it´s a matter of having eaten too fast. However, Lou once had an episode where she vomited several times a day for several days. It turned out that she was so badly constipated that the "stuff" was pushing up against her stomach and making her sick—poor thing, she was a mess. The vet fixed that one. But yes, talk to your vet especially if the vomiting is frequent or doesn´t have an obvious cause.

I concur with Mary...

Giles vomits at least a couple of times a month.
He was much worse before though...the vet suggested I feed him more easily digested food.
Now we feed both our cats high-quality food (it costs, but they are as close to children as we´re ever going to get). We feed them smaller meals four times a day. Giles is also encouraged to eat slower by having his food spread on the floor instead of in a dish. He is also fed separately from Lasher and is encouraged to rest after he eats.

We´ve had good results...he´s gone to a couple of times a month from a couple of times a week.

my cat vomits hairballs too... since a lot he doesn´t do it though, I´m giving him hairball control food and it helped a lot

Muse is the main one that vomits. She´ll have these ´episodes´ from time to time. Then for ages there´ll be nothing!
But when she does vomit, it´s like her entire stomach that comes out! lol. And it´s shocking to clean up! I think her problem is - she eats WAY too much sometimes.
But yes..it´s something that certainly does happen time to time. I have this carpet cleaner that works quite well to get it out.

My boys Phoenix & Mack especially, vomit up a hairball at least once or twice a week.
It´s a common cat thing!

Hairball is more common among long haired cat varieties but short haired ones get it too. After all, cats love to groom themselves and sometimes the hair does not go thru the system. I give my cat a product called Kittymalt once a week and increase the dose during the moulting season. The funny thing is when he does vomit one up, its never on a hard floor....the carpet always suffers!

Lecy...is your cat vomiting food, or hairballs? If it´s hairballs, usually nothing to worry about - it´s fairly common. Grooming, hairball medication and hairball formula food may all help. If it´s food - is your kitty throwing up immediately after eating (regurgitating), or digesting food then throwing up later on? Those two things are probably the result of different conditions and can be approached in different ways. They´ve also both been addressed in other threads - http://www.unitedcats.com/forum/34&fl=113&t=2548

Maybe have a look there and see if that helps.

Fabio vomited once at home after he was feed two pills at the vet. He throw up his pet food and one of that pills he was feed! Since then I´ve never seen him vomits.

We´ve visited our vet yesterday... He thought Bodjing was pregnant... ... (Bodjing is my baby boy!)lol. Diet in food is the first thing to make according to the vet.

I want to know how vet fixed that one.... coz Bodjing is not doing his "business" 2days since he vomits....

He vomits food. He semi-digest his food thne throw up later after 5 hours I think... I will visit those threads.. thank you Michy

Lucky Brooke has vomited when she eats much too fast and too much at once! I have cut down her portions and make her eat just a tablespoon of dry food when she comes in and then just give her another tablespoon lunchtime if she wants it. She has come down from a heavyweight to a medium weight puss now! I have to put Constantines share on a shelf if he doesn´t eat all of his, as Lucky will tuck into his as well as hers, resulting in vomited undigested cat biscuits on the carpet!!
Since restricting her intake, she hasn´t vomited in the last week. (Usually a weekly event). I put her outside after she has eaten and don´t let her in until a couple hours so she can digest the first amount properly.

Neffer used to vomit after she ate grass, which was a bit weird. Are cats supposed 2 do that???? =/

I´ve read and been told that a cat will eat grass to soothe an upset tummy. Maybe the vomiting is the cat´s body getting rid of the food or air that is upsetting it´s stomach and isn´t a reaction to the grass itself.

Mugger vomits hairballs at least once a month. And sometimes he vomits his food, but usually because he´s eaten too much and not bothered to chew any of it, because when he vomits it´s right after eating, and I can tell by examining the vomit that the food hasn´t been chewed - just wolfed down.

It´s a good idea to examine what the cat´s vomited up (I know, it´s disgusting, but necessary). If there´s something in the vomit that looks like a small dead mouse, that´s a hairball. If there´s no hairball but the cat has vomited shortly after it has eaten, then it may have eaten too fast or too much. But if a cat vomits frequently, you should take it to the vet.

Actually, my flat mates told me that Bellamy vomited the other day. It was yellow apparently and there were lots of it! I was at work that day so didn´t get to see it. I´ve noticed him eating a lot more than usual though! He keeps asking for more biscuits all the time (wanting me to shake his bowl so that more falls down). He gets really annoying and keeps asking me for more several times through the day! He´ll miaow and carry on and trip me up if he has to! LOL.
I´m hoping that it was just because he over-eat that he vomitted. He´s never done that before though. Yet hasn´t done it since which was a couple of days ago now.

I sort of think that at this time of year (Northern Hemisphere = shedding cats, Southern Hemisphere = cats growing their woolly undercoats) that they get hungrier, for some reason. I can understand their getting hungrier when they´re growing in their winter coats, since that takes energy and they need more "fuel" - but I can´t understand why they need more "fuel" to shed their coats! However, every year, Mugger goes through his I´M STARVING, MOM periods - once in the Spring, once in the Fall, as his coat is changing.

Oh thanks Wolfie! That might be what´s happening with Bel! I always notice a dramatic change in his fur when the seasons change! It is now autumn here so it´s beginning to get colder..and his fur will get thicker. It´s funny as I never notice much change in the other cats. And bel´s fur definitely sheds the most out of the four of them! Even though Lammy and Uno have fluffy coats! Muse looks the same all yr round! lol.
But that may really explain the change in appetite of Bel! Thanks for that Wolfie!

Mine (patches or missy) only seem to vomit after eating/chewing on a plastic bag I keep them outta reach and there is no vomit!
