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?? |

Any advise is welcome. Maybe back to Purina?? 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. |

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. 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. -- Barb 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.
