I was really worried so we sent him outside(hes and inside and an outside cat). A fter a while we let him in and he started to cough and sneeze i think he might be sick but im not sure so if any of u know anything about this please tell me. Were not sure if we should take him to the vet. Hes 1 and a half years old i dont want anything to happen to him so please tell me asap. Thanks!

He could have swallowed something that didn't agree with him, but I'm not sure about the sneezing part. Sounds like he has a respiratory infection. I would make an appointment with the vet anyways, just to get him checked out asap. Your kitty may need to be prescribed an antibiotic. Good luck!

If it was me, I would first look at the vomit to see if there is anything abnormal looking about it, like blood, or alot of stomach bile, anything that looks really different. If it just looks like barfed-up food, it could be nothing. Some cats just have more sensitive stomachs than others. If there's hair in it your cat could be coughing up hair balls. If you are really concerned that your cat may be sick, I wouldn't put him outside just because he keeps vomiting. If he really is sick, putting him outside could just make it worse, or he could get scared and hide out somewhere - cats will do odd things when they are ill. If he continues to get sick, maybe you could put him in a room that is easier to clean until you can get him to the vet, like a laundry room or extra bathroom, something with a tile floor. If you are really all that concerned, I would take him to the vet just to make sure. It will cost some money, but you will also have peace of mind knowing what is going on with your kitty.

Taking her to the vet is the superb conceivable factor you're able to do for her. She sounds very ill. I had a cat that grew to become into FIV+ and thats what befell over the previous point of it. Take her in as quickly as conceivable. it would desire to easily be an intestinal an infection or something else, however the longer you wait to get her to the vet, the less probability of having extra useful she would be in a position to have. stable success and that i'm hoping your cat gets extra useful quickly. And if no longer, then merely be happy approximately the time you had together with her. Take care.

My cat did the same thing once and it turned out that she had a really big hairball that she couldn't cough up. If you think your cat has a hairball, you should look for Purina Hairball Remedy for Adult Cats. You can find it in the Pet section at Wal-Mart. If the hairball remedy doesn't work and your cat is still coughing and throwing up, you should go ahead and take it to the vet.

It is important that you get your cat to a vet, it sounds like it could be he has eaten something dodgy, however, if he has been sick more than once it is not likely, if you are worried make sure you book an appointment with a vet who will be able to tell you if your cat is sick and will be able to treat him, however, it is not really necessary unless your cat is still throwing up tomorrow. It could just be that he has eaten something like grass which has a tendency to make cats throw up.

Your cat may have a little cold, or he is allergic to something in your house. If your kitty keeps throwing up take him to the vet ASAP! The worst thing that could happen is having your cat throw up to much. Then your cat can have a chance of dying. (I am not trying to freak you out!)

If your cat has been throwing up alot, take it too the vet. Although it's usually something minor, it can be very serious. Also, does your cat have all of it's shots? If not, you need to get them.

Yes get the cat to the vet, sounds like you have something going on here. I do not let my cats out, less things can happen then.

Geez-take him to the vet! Oh, and let me get this right-you were worried about the cat so you sent him OUTSIDE? Maybe he just needs a new human.
