My boyfriend bought my kitten some snacks/treats but Im pretty sure they are for adult cats only. I trusted my boyfriends judgment and I assumed he checked to see if it was for kittens. But it does not say its for kittens but it also doesnt say not to give it to kittens. Now he is throwing up and wont play with his sister. All he's done all night and all morning is lay around the house he wont play and he is always so so playful. His sister did not want any snacks and shes as playful as ever. Will this pass or should I take him to the Vet? He is 4 months old.

If your kitten was sick from eating those treats last night, it would have passed by now. I would think there is possibly something else wrong. Generally if your kitten is sick from something it's eaten, it throws up and that's it. If he's still not behaving normally by the morning, take him to the vet. I have just given away 5 kittens at 11 weeks and 2 of them did throw up at one stage but within 10 minutes they were back out romping around. It may just be a coincedence that he ate the treats. Worst case scenario with adult food for kittens would be they'd get the runs.

She probally just has an upset tummy. My guess is the cat snacks were too rich for the little kitty belly and now he's just a little irritated. If he doesn't bounce back in a day or two then take him to the vet. I really don't think cat snacks for a kitten would do serious damage, especially if it didnt' say "Don't GIVE TO KITTENS" on the box.

Poor Baby! Is she nursing from mom? If the competition for mom's milk/nursing is present, I would suggest putting mom and baby in low lit room together in the hope baby nurses well. Dehydration is a real bad thing for cats, especially babies as this can cause more issues like UTI (urinary tract infection) and dehydration can cause nausea. I would also look at stools and voids/vomit to see it's contents. It sounds like you may want to call a vet. There is always the possibility mom has ingested something that is affecting baby. Very young kittens can be fragile the time frame you get solid professional help could make a huge difference. I do hope all works out well!

Kittens are allergic to the dyes used in adult soft and hard foods. Take the kitten to the vet immediately. One nugget of a soft cat treat is enough to kill a kitten. The food is indigestible and is probably stuck in the kitten's belly. Take it to the vet NOW.

Throw those out! Take the cat to the vet, cats DO NOT just start throwing up for no reason. It is really sick, and could possibly die. Take it to the vet a.s.a.p.!

I would suggest calling your local vet, getting more information from them. If anything, you could get your money back for the snack from the company , if the snack has something wrong with it. If this snack has caused problems with your cat, it could be a lawsuit.
So...call the vet...and see what they think

Mike, you're such an asshat...
ANYWAY....
Anything made for an adult cat won't harm a kitten, he'll be fine. Just make sure he's warm and comfy, and let whatever is bothering him work itself out of his system. Encourage him to drink water too, that will help.
