He could have an intestinal obstruction. Take him to the vest as soon as you can , OP. He can die if that's what it is.

Did you take him to the vet?

Your cats been puking for a day or so and you haven't took them to the vet?

Yes, you should take him to the vet.

We recently had a cat diagnosed with IBD, and we wish we had moved faster with trying different things to treat the vomiting. I'm not a vet but the next step might be prescription hypoallergenic cat food.

Possibly a dumb question, but have you been giving him Temptations/Dreamies treats or Greenies? They're different brands, but they're made by the same parent company, Mars Inc. A couple of posters on here in the past couple of days have reported that they've been making their cats vomit, and I'm getting very suspicious.

It may be hair balls that look like puke my cats does the same thing, but if now I think changing the food till you find the right one(while it sucks) it’ll work

Have you taken him to a vet? It’s not normal for a cat to be vomiting often

Definitely take the advice of other folks here and take him to the vet to get checked out. Cats really shouldn't be vomiting often. And also familiarize yourself with regurgitation vs. vomiting - it'll help your vet to know which one it is.

However, in the meantime, I recommend getting a few waterproof protectors for pets or thick blankets to lay over your bed for protection. I have a cat who vomits often (he has medical problems and sees a specialist frequently) - we have a couch cover and we use pet protectors/towels/blankets/etc. to protect the bed too. So if he vomits in the middle of the night, we can just pull the blanket off, deal with any immediate vomit grossness, and then throw a clean protector down again to go back to bed. It's quick because we have multiple protector blankets to throw down so we're not wrestling with changing the sheets while we're half asleep at 4am. Because that would drive me nuts! We wipe the vomit off of the blanket as best we can, spray it with an enzyme cleaner, and throw it outside to deal with when we wake up. We also sleep with a roll or two of paper towels... because it's a frequent enough event.

And unfortunately, if you have a cat that vomits/regurges often, it means you're just going to have to do a lot of laundry and you'll have to clean a lot of rugs/carpet/furniture. Invest in good cleaning supplies and an enzyme cleaner.

Regular vomiting might be a food issue, a digestive issue, or some illness. We once had a cat who vomited so much, we had to give him IV fluids. Something hadn't agreed with him, and vomiting didn't help.

Take the cat to the vet to make sure it is healthy.

I would try some calming treats, possibly.

Have you tried a different brand or kind of food?

I would honestly get a second opinion, maybe even get bloodwork and x-rays done. I hope your baby comes out of this safely!!

Tenho uma gatinha com este problema e comprei uma ração com furinho no meio como mencionado em outra resposta, tipo um donut. E cada bolinha da ração é grande então ela é obrigada a partir o grão para diminuir o tamanho e conseguir engolir. É da Royal canin, e ainda não encontrei este formato de ração de outras marcas.

Eu tenho 14 gatos e isso é muito comum aqui. Aceito dicas mas acho que o problema são eles disputando quem come mais..

Tenta dividir a porção de ração. Coloca um pouco, aguarda uns minutos depois que comeram e coloca o restante.

eu comprei um comedouro lento já… diminui viu, massss ainda sim. E estou dando ração com os grãos bem pequeno…. Afffff

Tenho, só melhorou com enriquecimento alimentar

What tests have been run? Did they check blood work, check for allergies to certain proteins like chicken? Sensitive stomach foods may not help allergies if she’s allergic to the main protein. Not trying to diagnose but i think you should be asking your vet to make sure they’ve tried every diagnostic, or try another vet I think!

I would cycle through minimal-ingredient foods until you find something that works. One of my cats has a sensitive stomach and what worked eventually was a grain-free food. Now she pretty much only vomits when she snarfs extra food or overnight when her tummy is very empty. It also helped with some VERY VERY rank poops, and everyone talks about how sleek and shiny our cats are now.

I also agree you need to find a new vet, because with that level of vomiting there is no reason your vet should not have suggested eliminating corn/wheat as something to try. Corn and wheat is “okay” for some cats, but they are obligate carnivores and do not need it. From what I have seen it’s kind of like lactose in humans— a lot of us can have it, but it messes with a lot of people too.

Consult a third vet and let him run some blood test. If he still says that your cat is ok, then keep an eye on your cats health and weight.

My family cat had the same problem. He sometimes vomited every day for weeks and no vet (my mother took him to at least 4 different) could find a cause or solution. He had this for nearly half his life and lived to the proud age of 21.

Put the food on a plate the cat could be eating too fast because it wiskers are hitting the sides... My cats were doing it too.. is it long hair btw? Could be hair balls or age... Mine are just cows wolfing their food too fast.

Find a better vet.

Frequent vomiting in cats is not really normal. Your best bet to decrease it is to determine the underlying cause. Did the vet discuss an ultrasound or a GI panel? Was a fecal performed?

cat hair seems a bit ungroomed. Is that cat old? Just wondering if it feels like throwing up because the kidneys are giving it issues.

what is he puking up?? I would be worried about possibly poisoning? I would take him in

Does he go outside at all? Could he be eating mushrooms? If so, that will result in projectile vomit (been there, done that, but it was a dog)
