Default Cat repeatedly vomiting?

The vet could not find any sign of a problem (no lumps and
normal temperature etc) and has pumped him with what I assume
are anti-biotics and steroids which seemed to work immediately
afterwards as he kept a meal down but is back to being sick all
over the house now.


If you have the time, try feeding him a little bit at a time
frequently. Even if you can't do it forever, try it for a few
days. If you do, please report your results.



Thanks, I free feed my 4 cats so there is always food in a bowl
for them (Hills science plan) so he doesn't really like being
given food when I want him to eat.


How does his preference have anything to do with you trying to stop
his frequent barfing?


They get a tin of soft in the mornings & I put a little bowl in
front of him where he was sleeping just now. He woke up, turned
his nose up, got up and puked some bile by the door (caught it on
a sheet of A3 fortunately).


At the slightest sign, I can wake up from a dead sleep, grab a
Styrofoam plate, and get to where my cat is going to barf.

Your experience sounded exactly like mine, including multiple cats
and free feeding (or feeding a lot at one time. Feeding my cat very small amounts frequently
appears to be working. About one more week of trial and
that will prove it. Too bad you have twice as many cats.
