and we have been to different vets and I have literally spent approx. $1,000 or more with no answers/cures. I have changed her diet, etc. I have two cats. The one I am speaking of is approx. 7 years old, spayed female. She is a tortious shell color. She is long haired. But this is not hair balls, it is food and or dark orange/red fluid. She has been x-rayed, etc. She has strange behavior as well. She will balance on the edge of a chair for hours, and keep falling off and then get back on. She is high strung while my other cat is opposite. Any suggestion would help. It is almost a projectile vomiting at time. Thanks!!

Both of my cats did this for a long time. They only eat dry food (never canned). What I found considerably lessened the vomitting frequency was switiching them to a colorless dry food such as regular Purina (in the blue bag). They definitely vomit way less than they did from eating Meow Mix and the like.

Do you feed your cat canned food? If so maybe that's the problem or if the cat eats try switching to a better brand of food and make sure the cat doesn't have food out all day the cat could be over eating. Also do you switch brands of cat food a lot? IF so that is another thing that could cause it. Maybe also it's because she is so high strung maybe she needs meds to relax her a bit?

Some cats age faster than others, unfortunately the average mixed breed cat has a lifespan between 8 and 11 years. while only a few breeds tend to make it into the teens. Throwing up can sometimes be a sign of an ulser. It may be nearing her time, if she fails to improve it may be time to consider making a tough decision. The last thing I'm sure you'd want for her is for her to suffer.

I had a cat that did that who was also female and fixed,but we started to ration out her feedings through the day because she would scarf her food down and vomit.So she would get fed a portion in the morning then in the eveing.....And the vomiting became less and less...We also would add a drop of vegetable oil to help with hair balls.

My cat vomits all the time too, but its not projectile. I have learned to live with it because she is rather healthy sized (we call her big boned) and she is old and not high strung. I don't know what to suggest about the strange behavior and projectile vomiting. I would probably ask if its something she and you can live with, and whether or not she is healthy and/or endangering herself with her bahavior.

Maybe she's slow and that's why the behaviour is not normal.

It could be her diet making her sick. My cat can only eat duck and salmon flavours of wet cat food and meat dry food or he'll throw up.

i agree with platinum garb, my cat vomits alot to, Purina in the blue bag, does make a difference. took my cat in for tests, they say his liver is failing, and to feed him canned food for hydration.

I have three cats and one seems to be throwing up too. As I cannot answer your question fully, I can assure you your cat is not alone!:)
