Sick cat, any ideas?

[eggchaser1987]

After moving to a new house and GF bringing the cat along with her, was all part of the deal, the cat has started throwing up about once every month.

The past couple of months it has got more often, has been twice this month. She seems when just giving her buiscits but as soon as she has and wet food it gets braught up.

Nothing has changed, except the house, all the food has been the same the cat seems well and happy. She will go out on her normal wandering sprees and hapily sit by the fire in the evening so alls well apart from the being sick.

We have an apointment with the vet on saturday for them to have a look but just thaught I would ask here and see if any one had any ideas what it could be.

Thanks all

Edit for appalling spelling pointed out to me

seems and seems....

and could quite easy be stress

Or the greedy bugger has found someone else who feeds them, as well as you?

Get some



Ours have done it for years now, no answers from the vets, various foods with no improvement.

Bearable, until they do it on a bed. Always just enough to soak through into the duvet. We have a spare on standby.

Not ordering new carpets till they snuff it.

Slink, thanks for that. Spelling has been changed!

for some reason I had not thaught of stress, could be the reason thanks for that.

Moving may have upset the cat.

Has the brand of food changed? Some can't deal with the gravy but are ok on the jelly.

Also, try switching to raw food for it, ours don't really puke much at all anymore.

No thats the thing, none of the food has changed. I could understand if we had gone and got cheap stuff but only the best will do for her. Must just be the move then but I would of thaught she would have got used to it by now, been 7 months or so.

Vanish is good don't let the cat lick it tho

Sounds like stress to me, or could just be that she isn't out as much & her usual puking outside is in the house now, Bast would like when she had gorged herself & eaten too quickly.

Hmmm seven months is too long. It may be she has the same thing one of my cats had, an inability to process food quickly which led to it being blocked in her stomach then being brought back up. Tablets from the vet had that fixed (though she had to have a quarter a day).

Try some Raw food though it may well help.

On of ours will scoff it down as if it is the last meal on earth. So we limit the amounts at feeding, wait a few minutes, then some more. Otherwise its all up again. Vet has checked her out OK and did not seem worried.

[eggchaser1987]

Will give the raw food a go tomorrow then and see the result. I wouldn't find it strange if she didn't do it before we moved. I suppose it could be a newish place so still not confident in leaving the wet food alone to come back to?

Thanks for the advice all

Just try her on a little amount first. You don't want to upset her stomach by a swift food change.

If she goes out, I'd wonder about keeping her in for a couple of months just in case it's someone actually intentionally putting something nasty out. Local vets would likely be aware if that were the case although there's no guarantee.

My GF moved in with me and the same thing happened. Started being sick about once a month and then gradually got worse to every other day. Nothing had changed apart from the move. Went to the vets and found out that she has got a hyper thyroid and the move was just coincidence. She now takes a tablet everyday. No sick and she's as happy as Larry. My advice would be go to the vet.

Eating to quickly. Our old cat was renowned for it. He would gobble his biscuits down and then 5 minutes later quite often they would come back up.

We reduced it by feeding him half and then waiting 10-15 minutes and giving him the other half.

Just an update. Took her to the vets and they did a check on her. Couldn't find anything that was obviousley wrong with her so gave us some food and some powder stuff that is easy to digest.

Seams to be fine over the past few days and nothing as yet. Cat seams happy with the royal kaynin food. Just got to wait and see when this load runs out if she manages the normal food. If not she will have to have the expencive stuff all the time.
