Projectile Vomiting In Cats
I've had a little female cat since she was a kitten. She was feral and
abandoned under a bush by her mother so we took her in, bathed her to kill off the fleas and had her spayed... that was 4 years ago. She's not exactly 'friendly' most of the time, preferring to come and go as she pleases tho *is* friendly with my 12 year old daughter, allowing only her to carry her, and sleeping on her bed during the day. After a few years insisting on only eating 'Whiskas, we tried her on Purina dry food which she really took to and refuses to eat anything else we give her (tho is till partial to birds lizards, mice etc she catches herself). She has fresh water available of course but otherwise that's all we give her. Problem is that she has taken to regularly throwing up... often just after eating. This might not be as bad as it sounds since our dogs clean up after her... except of course unless she has something wrong with her. She doesn't throw up after *every* meal... maybe once a week or so... but it's still a concern and we're wondering what we should do about it - if anything. Other than this occasional problem... and forgetting she's 'house trained' now and then... she's pretty much a healthy animal, if skittish. Should we be worried?? She's expendable so no biggie.

Welshdog -- Don't just whinge - make your opinion count! Australian Opinionhttp://australianopinion.com.au Just by reading what you wrote and nothing else I can see that you are NOT cat person but maybe a dog person. Please don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with not being a cat person but you need to understand that dog people simply are incapable of caring for a cat and vise versa so you need to make a decision, either you need to get rid of your dogs or your cat, and the answer is obvious. |

Welshdog Start feeding her outside? Do you think it's the indoor air? Welshdog No, but until you DO figure out the cure, if she barfs on the lawn, who cares? Haven't had a cat since puberty hit and I became allergic, but IIRC it is usually a reaction to eating too fast. As in, they think somebody else will eat it if they don't finish it. Do the dogs steal from her bowl? Solution may be as simple as a household I used to know, where the cat dish was halfway up the wall in the garage, next to where the stepladder was kept. Cat could get to it easily, but the dogs couldn't even see it. Their dish was right below, so they assumed they were smelling their own food, and didn't keep looking. Wish I had taken a picture of them all peacefully feeding, not 4 feet apart. Failing that, try smaller portions and see if that makes a difference. If she wants more right away, she'll tell you. That is a common problem with dogs. -- aem sends... |

It's a long shot, but have you tried giving the cat some hair ball medicine? It might be a partial obstruction. If that doesn't work, then look into a worming medicine. Nonny |
