everything is the same. Her food. Obviously her water, and thats all she drinks. This has been going on for about a month or two now. She goes on spurts, sometimes she'll go a whole week with out puking, and if she does its only like a little bit. Other times she'll get sick 3 or 4 times a day. i know i should take her to the vet, but i don't exactly have the money, so if anyone could give me ideas or anything?

She needs to see a doc ASAP no matter what. She must be losing all kinds of weight and wasting away. Try Felidae food (wet and dry) but see if she has an infection or something.

My cat has done this for years. I took her in, and they found nothing wrong medically. Other than, she eats too fast. Or if I don't feed her asap she gets so hungry she throws up. She is over weight also. She doesn't even chew her food. It comes out whole. It's not all the time though. When she does start puking it's consistent for about a week. Then no puking for like a month... I've tried everything from limiting her food, to feeding her as soon as the bowl is empty.. Nothing works. I've learned to just deal with it... Good luck!

We had a cat that did that he also had a lot of snot and stuff coming out of his nose. You should take her to the vet now!!!! We took our cat several times but they could not figure out what was wrong they gave him a high dose of antibiotics and he still did not get any better he started at 8 pounds and died after he got down to 3 pounds so take her in now and if they cant do anything for her I would consider putting her down it sounds mean but our cat sufferd so much and was so sick befor he died. Good luck and I hope he gets well soon.

I would at least call the vet. It could be something in the intestinal tract of the cat. But alot of vet offices will give advice over the phone.

Cat is probably prone to hairballs. Buy some hairball medicine and rub it on its paws so it will have to lick it off if it won't take it off your finger.
Also I hope you aren't giving it milk, milk doesn't agree with cats. Also my cat used to do that when he would gulp his food so fast.
give a spoonful and when he finishes that , give another spoon,etc. A lot of trouble but worth a try. These are all I know to suggest.

get to the vet!!! they usually will work out a payment plan with you so they get their money and animals get the care they need. i did a payment plan for a $2,000.00 operation. our vet was a family orientated hospital.
best of luck.

Go outiside and give the cat some fresh grass. it helps them not feel queezy in there stomach. also don't feed him so much. one more thing the grass might make him throw up a little but then it tells the body that it's bad. good luck

quite possible the cat has worms. sometimes they barf when they have worms and it is more than just a hairball in your case because it is happening too often.
