Vomiting kitty
Help, my four year old neutered indoor guy has started vomiting every other day at least for 2-3 weeks. Tried sensitive stomoch food, and grass-didn't work . He is now on Iams hairball. Seems normal in every way-eats, poops, urinates and plays but pow throws up!! What is the next step and can I feed him anything to settle his tummy down???

Vometing Kitty
Is you cat by any chance a Siamese or Siamese cross? My cat Sam is 16 years old and has had a vometing problem all of his life. I have tried hairball remedy food, sensative stomach food. Does anyone else have problems with a Siamese in particular?
I will try the rice and meat, I have done that with dogs successfully but not cats. I have had my boy to the Veterinarian several times with no avail.

vomiting kitty
I have a 5 year old kitty who has begun vomiting after everything he eats. He did this awhile ago, and we assumed it was because he was eating too fast. But now its been going on for over a week now, and there is no let down in site. He still plays, drinks, and uses the litter box normally, but I am soo tired of coming home to vomit scattered all over my house, and rugs....
He was just at the Veterinarian a couple of weeks ago to have his shots updated, and was given a clean bill of health...... so I'm not sure whats going on....  does any one have any suggestions???

By the way....the meat and rice suggestion is a great one, except, for upset tummies, the meat should be boiled not fried. Boiling removes the grease. The grease from frying it will cause more upset tummy not less. amanda samantha sydney murphy foster and kipling

My cat
Thanks for the advice. I also went on line and did a web search. I read that cats will eat competively if there are multiple cats within the household, or that the cat may jsut be eating too fast. It said to feed the cats at seperate times, and in seperate places, so each cat could enjoy its meal, and to limit the amount I am putting in the bowl, to make sure the cats stomach would not want to regerutate the eaten food. So far so good. 3 days and counting. Hopefully this does the trick, and I can move the cats back into the same feeding room.
Thanks for the advice. Elisabeth

My cat (Siamese) Skeeter has had a vomiting problem for years. When my house was built, I picked out carpets roughly the same color as his vomit so when it stained the carpet, it wouldn't be as noticeable. I had him to the Veterinarian and was told that since I have multiple cats, he was feeling as though he had to compete for his food, etc. No tests were run. That was 5 years ago. About 5 months ago or so, I had to take him to the Veterinarian for an unrelated problem. I explained to my new Veterinarian about the vomiting, as Skeeter had lost 16 pounds in 5 years, tests were run this time, and Skeeter was diagnosed as having an overactive thyroid causing him to waste away to nothing, and vomit all the time. We have gotten his throid levels where we want them now, he is gaining weight, and the vomiting has not completely stopped, it is WAY more manageable. He only vomits maybe once every other day or so, and at that, it's usually only a little bit. Hope this helps...
