1 year cat barfing

We got to kittens a year ago. We fed them Purina Kitten food and then
went to what our other two adult cats eat, Iams Adult 1+ year Orginal.

Well, their not kittens now but one keeps barfing after eating and we
can't figure why.

Tried Hill's Prescription Diet 5482 but he won't eat it (a friend had
to go with that for his female cat).

Any advise is welcome.

Maybe back to Purina??

My vet says to try wet food when this starts. Try one with no grain, like
wellness. It sounds like cat has developed a food intolerance of some kind.
I would, also, get a vet check as vomiting can be caused by so many things,
but at sucha young age and being right after eating, I'd really wonder
about a food intolerance.

My cat Cheeks barfs regularly, I think because she wolfs
her wet food. There is a particular flavor she just eats faster
than the others. I have begun just putting a bit down and making
her wait for the rest so she cannot wolf. Your cat may be a
wolfer too. Dry food, when wolfed, can make them barf
because it expands. Tony, have kitties had a checkup
lately? It's never a bad idea. You want to rule out any
medical reason for the barfing. (One big reason many
cats do it is because they are eating parts of houseplants
that can be poisonous. That can be dangerous, so
you might want to look into it.) When I asked my vet
after checking the cats over he said Cheeks probably
barfs because the food is "too rich" for her and she
wolfs it. But I think cats that eat too fast will do it
regardless of the food. The only think I can think of
to do in that case it to ration it out.

Is the cat gorging on the food and then puking?

Thanks. I'm going to try that.

Thanks for the reply. Hate to say it but vet is just too much at this
point. I'm beginning to think there is something addictive to Iam's
tuna flavored cat food. He doesn't want to go back to the Kitten Chow.
Going to try the wet and, like you say, rationing.

He does eat a lot once the food is out; then barfs pretty soon after
that.

My year old kitten started in with this, barfing every day, undigested food.
Stopped playing with the interactive toy before meals. Now I feed her one
bite at a time because she was bolting down her food too fast. Now no more
throwing up.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

Mr. Bonkers used to throw up but only afetr the first meal of the day. It
was a combination of gorging and food sensitivity. We switched to Science
diet for sensitive stomachs and we started to give 4 meals with 1/4 cup each
meal. (He also has no problem with small amounts of wet food - Fancy feast
marinade) He's now 1.5 yr old and weighs 14 lbs and is a monster of a cat.
and if you give him anything but science diet, he still barfs.

This is exactly what my cats do--with canned. Dry is a
little worse because it expands in their stomachs, so when
they eat too much--you get the picture.
