My cat has been throwing up a lot in the past day or so, is this normal?

Question

I tried cutting her food smaller but it doesn't help. She is almost due, with her first litter, might it be because of that?

Answer 1

There is not much room left inside her now and it makes it a lot harder for the stomach to work properly, don't worry too much, give her much smaller meals more often.

Answer 2

Apparently, instead of just sending advice to this cat owners way, why do people bother answering questions they have no clue about? Or worse, berating someone for letting their cat have a litter.. How does anyone of us know she didn't adopt this kitty and she was unknowingly pregnant?
The fact is, a cat throwing up can be normal. If it is just the food coming back up, rather its almost still whole chunks or liquidy, this can be normal. Sometimes the cat just needs a change in diet, or quantity, or just a little grass to digest something that doesn't agree. Does the cat have issues with hairballs? Try a little vaseline on the nose to help with that. Also, is the vomitting only at night, or immediately after meals? There are several things to consider, but vomitting doesn't always mean there is an issue with cats. Some cats will vomit alot during their lives. Others may not. But there are times in any aged cats, that vomitting can be serious, if there is even blood present, a foul smell to the vomit or the cat starts to loose weight or becomes dyhidrated. Some serious illnesses include vomitting from kidney problems to intestinal issues. Watch your cat, if the cat is getting plenty of water that is a good sign. You can test the cats skin and see how elastic it is to tell the hydration of the cat, if the skin on the back of the neck is pulled then it snaps back quickly that is good..anytime the skin stays raised, then immediately goto the vet. But the best bet, is to watch your cats habits, are they drinking water, when they are vomitting, how much, how chunky it is, times of day, and what it looks/smells like. Its good to know all these things, because you may need to goto a vet and having this info will help

Answer 3

Put yourself in your cats position, and then decide if you think that "throwing a lot in the past day or so" is normal...And, with the statistics on the number of homeless cats in shelters, you should be quite ashamed that your cat is pregnant. There are 2 parts to every life - birth & death. So after you watch "the miracle of birth" with your cat, don't forget to visit your local shelter and watch the tragedy of death when litters of kittens are euthanized because there aren't enough homes for them.

Answer 4

I'd have a vet look at her. It could be anything from normal hairballs to illness or a problem with the pregnancy.

Answer 5

Two things...

Get some hairball remedy "Petromalt" is a good one

And find your cat some grass to chew on ... it settles their stomach.

You can get both of these items at any good pet store.

Answer 6

If you threw up a lot in the past day would that be normal

Answer 7

no take himto vet or call the vet ask them if throwing up is okay which is not because is probally something he ate if is kitten take nhim fast to the vet

Answer 8

Might be a hair ball because when they are pregnant they groom themselves more... but this doesn't stop.... soon take her to the vet..

Answer 9

did she eat anything new recently? Maybe it's a reaction if you are giving her medication for her babies. Call a vet if this doesn't stop by tomorrow.
