Kitty throwing up?
Hello,
I have a cat who is just over two years old. He is healthy and happy but lately, once every three or four days , he has been throwing up a bit. I thought that this might be due to hair balls so have been giving him treats which are supposed to prevent hair ballsbut thus far, they don't seem to be working. A few questions: I gather that this is a somewhat normal occurrence but ideally, how often should it be happening assuming a healthy cat? What are the best ways to prevent it from happening? Also, it seems as if my cat will fixate on one spot in which to throw up. For a few weeks, i would always find that he had done it in the corner of the basement, but the last few times, he has taken to doing it in the hallway between my kitchen and living room. I am surprised by this because I would have thought that the whole thing would be more random and that I would find it in varied spots throughout the house. However, if he does have that much control, is there anything that can be done to gently influence him to choose one spot over another? If I had my druthers, I would prefer that he do it in the basement. Thanks, |

I think that more than once weekly signifies that there may be a problem. I
would have him checked by a vet. Gail "Al Puzzuoli" wrote in message t... Hello, I have a cat who is just over two years old.
