Bit worried about our cat
Discussion
She's an 8-9 month old female
Yesterday and today she has seemed a bit off colour, not eating as much and a bit grumpy
Last night she went and ate some grass and threw it up we read online this is normal(ish) behaviour
Today she again hasn't eaten much and we came home to a small amount of sick and then let her out where she ate some more grass and was sick again
To the vet with her? Or see how she is tomorrow
She seems OK in herself just a little down and her poo is normal

Mine do this on occasion,although they are 9 years older than yours. Exactly the same thing, don't eat much food but swallow as much grass as they can, then chuck it straight back up again. As long as she's taking water on okay and using the toilet then she's probably fine. Will she take a treat? Either a normal flavoured biscuit thing or a piece of chicken or tuna. Mine normally refuse the regular for but will wolf down the treats, so I know they're still fine.
No harm in seeing a vet though, just in case.

How did it go today? She ok?
Yeah cheers Had her at the vet for 9:30, vet checked her over said she couldn't feel anything lodged in her stomach but she does have a temperature, so she gave her an injection to help with that and said she should be OK
I gave her some the white fish as advised which she picked at and ate some of
She seems much better in herself the vet thinks she has caught and eaten something that disagreed with her but nothing major to worry about
hope she continues to improve. Didn't reply before because you'd already done what I'd have advised and made an appt.Ilikebeaver said:
Our cat does this every so often.
It's when he has caught a mouse or bird usually.
Take him to the vet worried sick and they give him an injection and he is back to his normal self in no time.
You would think he would learn and stop munching on the local wildlife by now

"Will she learn from this then?"
Her laugh told the rest of the story
