my cat threw up while on vacation?

Question

i was on vacation for 3 days (gone officially 1 day since you leave the 1st day, full day 2nd day, and come back 3rd day) and i had somebody come feed our cats and stuff but when we came back they had big really wet barfs with the food barely chewed. Do you think they did this because they were angry that we were gone or lonely or something (that's what my mom thinks) or they are sick? they've thrown up before but the vomit wasn't this large.

Answer 1

My cats do that when they're not fed at the same time every day. (In other words if they're fed late.)

They get hungry, wolf down their food, and barf it up.

See if it stops once they're on a more regular schedule. The stress of having someone else care for them might have affected them too. (They missed you!)

Answer 2

Cat's don't do human type revenge, they don't think that way.

He probably ate too fast (like two of ours do), or was too stressed when he ate because you were gone and a stranger was there--very frightening for a cat when their routine is changed-- and it all came up. Their stomachs get upset just like ours do, so physically he might not have been able to hold it down.

Answer 3

Just one time not to worry - probably ate too fast or started to hack up a hairball while eating.

Answer 4

mabey it was the wrong kind of cat food if they switch foods to fast they throw up alot!
