Dear /an/ I have a Cat question for you.

Once in a while after feeding my cat, she will throw up. I'm not sure what is causing this, I bring her to the vet regularly, and nothing appears to be wrong with her. She never acts sick after vomiting, she just walks away. Would anyone on /an/ know the meaning of this?

And because I'm sure someone will ask, I feed her Fancy Feast, alternating between flavors.

looks like the feast wasn't so fancy

This happened to my cat yesterday morning. But I think it was because she had gotten at a cup of milk I left out, and drank a lot of it. But she's thrown up other times for reasons I can't find.

If you are only feeding it one or two big meals a day, try feeding it 4 smaller meals.

Also, just like people, cats sometime just gotta hurl. Much more often then people in fact because they always eat weird crap.

I feed it (and my other cat) half a can of food twice a day. My other cat never throws up.

this is your problem.
1. switch to nutro.
2. feed cat
3. ignore the cat ignoring food
4. wait for hunger to set in
5. await in bated breath for vomit
6. ???
7. profit

Even though my other cat doesn't throw up at all? Honestly, In the 16 years that he has been alive, I've never seen him vomit.

then just experiment with the different food. if your cat still vomits out a different high-end brand like nutro, then food's not the issue.

but really, science diet/iams/fancy feast is all shit taken from the lowest grade of meat possible for cost effectiveness and profit. it's basically the sludge of fat, blood, and whatever on the floor baked together.

What's once in a while? 1-2 times a month? It's ok, don't stress. If the cat's not puking every meal or very often then there's no problem.

Yea, it's like once a month, or less ever.

Actually, I talked to a friend, and he says his cat does the same thing. Its normal for some cats I guess.

Just reduce the amount you feed the cat.

I have two friends (married couple) that have a cat that was formerly feral. She's alot more skittish than their other cats, and has a tendency, as shes used to having to compete outside for food availability, to bolt down her food as fast as she can and as much food as she can. Shes gotten alot better over the years, but she was throwing up partly because shed overeat in her hurry to cram down as much food as she could, even though she didnt need to anymore because she had her own dish and the other cats in the household left her stuff alone for the most part.

Im not saying this might be whats up with your cat, but maybe once in a while your cat stuffs herself a lil too fast and her tummy cant handle it. Happens to people too.

This one of my cats will gorge itself until it pukes if I put down enough food, I just have to make sure it doesnt get the chance to eat so much.

they puke out their undigestable hair... don't you know that?

when cats "wash" themselves they swallow their hair and it needs to be puked out once in a while. they also eat grass because it makes them vomit.
