My cat pukes after eating somtimes, and it's anoying, Anyone know what might be causing it?

Question

Umm yeah my cat pukes, help please?

Answer 1

He/she is eating too much at once. my cat did that too. only put down so much. then later, put down some more and so on.

Answer 2

1. Eating to fast: give a limited amount of food at a time.

2. Hairball- get a food with a hairball formula in it that helps break them up so that doesn't happen as much. Also you can buy this gel called petrol-malt -sp and you give them a little ribbon of it which will also help break up hairballs.

3. Sensitive stomach. Is it an exotic cat? Sometimes they have more sensitive stomachs and you can get food for that too.

4. Regarding the comment on the milk. Cats are typically lactose intolerant. You can buy small juice box size containers of something called Cat-Sip at the store. It is a kind of lactose free milk that your cat will enjoy and will go over well on his tummy. :) My cat loves it.

5. Have there been a lot of changes around the house lately? Cats can get nervous stomachs due to change that will cause that.

6. Plants as someone said is also a large cause. My cat does that every once in awhile.

7. If this continues for sometime and doesn't go away and it wasn't happening before then I would take him in to get checked just in case.

Answer 3

I have four cats right now and one of them was doing the same thing. First, if it was hairballs the cat would do it at other times other than just eating. Also after cats are 6 months old they are lactose intolerant. So no regular milk, if this is what the cat is getting. Also I never give my cats people food as this leads them to digestion problems and also begging. I buy a good quality dry food (moist food sticks to their teeth and causes decay) and stick to it. I am known to take in tame and wild animals that have been hurt or abused. (The wild ones return to the woods when they are either old enough or able). My cat Tuxedo, that has this problem, is named for the street on which he was found after being thrown from a moving car. At first I thought it was his nerves as even though he was at kitten when I got him it has taken 4 years for him to venture outside. And he hides when people come over....my sister thinks he dosen't exist because of this. But on the last checkup and shots at the vet, they noticed that he has a lot of tarter on his back teeth (even with the hard food). So I thought maybe his teeth are sore so he doesn't chew and the food swells when he drinks and causes him to throw-up. So I had his teeth cleaned (the bacteria can also cause liver, heart disease etc.) and I haven't had to clean my carpets in the last while. So if your cat is throwing-up unchewed dry food ....check into his/her teeth. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Sometimes cats will over-eat and throw up. Sometimes a cat will eat really fast, like if he feels like he is competing with other cats for food or is really spooky and doesn't want to stay out in the open eating for very long, and the throw up. Sometimes hairballs cat cause vomiting too. Try feeding your cat small portions and give him a place to eat where he feels secure. Brush him regularly and treat for hairballs, if you think that might be his issue. There is also a chance your cat is genuinely ill and vomits because of that. Check with your vet, if the other advice doesn't apply.

Answer 5

My 2 year old cat just passed away this past Monday... I recall him vomiting frequently and this was a sign of his illness. Look at your cat's vomit and try to see what's in it, I know it sounds gross, but you might need to have your cat taken to the vet. I thought that my cat was eating too fast, too... but this happened two months before my husband and I noticed that my cat was breathing a little too hard... like he had a hairball stuck in his throat. He started coughing and we didn't think anything of it... then I couldn't sleep that night knowing he was distressed... we took him in and we didn't know that would be the last time we would be with him. He went into heart failure during the ride... but his lungs were filled with fluid. Some of the symptoms of his condition which was Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy... was lethargy, vomiting, listlessness, labored breathing... there might be more. Vomiting could be nothing, but don't overlook it. It could be something else. If you sense something is wrong, go with your instinct. Good luck.

Answer 6

Usually from eating too fast. If it is dry food, pet food stores sell dental food, which is shaped in a ball, kinda like a shredded wheat substance. Add some of them into the dry and it makes the cat eat slower. Also try feeding smaller amounts several times a day. Don't forget to put the Laxtone on the top of their paw to help with hairballs.

Answer 7

It depends on what you're feeding her, how much you're feeding her, and how often you're feeding her!

Some cats can't tolerate scraps/moist food or treats. You need to follow the feeding instructions on the food bag! I can't stress this enough! If you feed her too much too often he will eat until she gets sick!

If you try these things and nothing changes within a few days or a week, Take your cat to the VET! She may have worms, a stomach or other digestive problem, or something else may be wrong with her. Don't wait too long to take you cat to the vet, it may be the difference between life and death!

Answer 8

Your cat is probably eating too fast and that's what's making it throw up. Don't laugh but cats that eat like that are called vacuum cleaner cats. Vets usually suggest adding large stones in with their food. The large stones makes the cat eat more slowly because they have to eat around them.

Answer 9

Our cat used to puke a lot after eating too. We tried a lot of different things and came to find out that she wasn't actually chewing her food. We bought her different cat food that was smaller pieces. We go with Iams for adult cats and its been working. Good luck with whatever you come up with.

Answer 10

I tried a new kind of wet food once that made my boy puke every time. It was a cheapo brand.

Check for any signs of grass or plants in the vomit--this makes my cat chuck when she eats at my plants.

Also, she could be eating too fast.

Answer 11

It doesn't always mean your cat is eating too fast!! Sometimes cats grow intollerant of a certain food. Try Science Diet for Sensitive Stomachs. She may be eating more than her sensitive stomach can handle at a time.
