Cats vomit regardless of food they're eating

“My cat, Alley, who is roughly 8–9 years old, has always been a picky eater. A few months ago, she started throwing up her dry food, so I switched her to only wet food. That worked for a while, but she eventually started throwing that up, too. On the night of 10/12, she threw up all her food undigested and stopped eating. She also produced very little stool and urine. I took her to the vet on 10/13, where they did blood work and an X-ray. On 10/14, I learned that her blood work was normal, but th”

“I'll try to keep this short. Female 7YO kitty vomiting around 4/5am nearly every night, regardless of what time she eats. We believe she needs hypoallergenic food, seems to be all she can eat as the vomiting doesn't happen then. Just curious if there's any other reason she might vomit regularly or it really is likely to just be the wrong food xx Species: spanish calico Age: 7 Sex/Neuter status: F / Yes Body weight: 4kilos Duration: on and off for months, this is whats worrying us You”

“Hi Reddit vets! I have a year old cat who typically only eats at night, so it’s hard to monitor her food intake during the day. However, during the day I do give her treats and such. Yesterday she threw up a little (like two little spurts), yellow bile with a little bit of what looked like some partially digested food, and then was back to normal (playing and all that). She also has been drinking her water normally. However, this morning when checking her food bowl she really only ate like 1/4 o”

“Species: Cat Age: 13–14 years old Sex: Male, neutered Breed: Persian Weight: 9 lbs Location: Florida, USA Short history and clinical signs: My 13–14-year-old Persian cat has been experiencing intermittent vomiting for some time, but it has progressed to daily vomiting over the past month. Approximately 6–12 months ago, he suffered a stomach perforation that required surgery. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact size or extent of the perforation. My father wonders whether the surgery could have”

“I have a 3 year old Bombay cat. She is my world, I buy her favorite food, give her all the attention she asks for, and love her dearly. Lately, though, an issue has come up: she has been throwing up a lot, but it isn't food or hairballs. For context, we recently moved from Indiana to Colorado, and I suspect the elevation might be affecting her, though I'm not entirely sure. She has never thrown up before in her life unless she was sick. For the past couple of days, I've woken up ever”

“My 2 year old male cat , kaalu is extremely sick, he isn’t eating or drinking at all. He is hiding and has not eaten anything since 6:00 -7:00 evening GMT and now it’s 4:00 o clock in the morning the next day . He sits near the water bowl but doesn’t drink any water . He has an habit of chewing on strings , they usually come out of his poo. Went to the doctor today morning at 8:00 and the doc said it was probably a stuck hairball and he also gave him antirabies vaccine ( it was supposed to be gi”

“Took my almost 10 year old male tabby into an urgent vet visit today. He had begun vomitting pretty frequently over the last 72-96 hours and it was very scary. His overall demeanor was the same - happy go lucky, seeking cuddles and purring. Which when I made the phone call the vet said was good. Took him in today to be examined because the vomitting was still happening. Overall he was still im pretty normal spirits. Even drank a little water this morning after getting sick again around 2am and t”

“Starting a month ago, my 9 year old neutered male cat (European breed) started vomiting once a day, and I noticed he reduced the amount of food he ate and how often he went to the litter box. I immediately took him to a local vet to see what was going on. They assumed his stomach was inflamed from all the vomiting and proceeded with a 3 day course of injections for his symptoms. The thing is, he was still not eating and not going to the litter box. We then did blood work, where everything was no”

“Help, my cat threw up 5 times today 3 of which were this white foam, didn’t eat anything in 24h and is refusing to eat even now, what can be the cause of this and what should I do ? submitted by /u/Mikassamei [link] [comments]”

“My cat is currently eating Royal Canin HP and Royal Canin Selected Protein PR exclusively as part of an elimination diet due to suspected GI disease. One of his main symptoms is vomiting, so he has also been prescribed 1/4 tablet of Cerenia every 24 hours. Unfortunately, he has been a little stubborn about being pilled. He sometimes manages to spit out the tiny, hard-to-see pill even after we've held his mouth shut and rubbed his throat, so we're never quite sure he's taken it. Also,”

“Hi, I've got 4 cats, 9year-old (Bick), 2x 5year-olds (Nut + Mocha), 1year old (Baby) We moved them to Purina One, a mix of tender selects salmon and the sensitive stomach one. I mix the batch at a ratio of 1:1. I fumbled a few months ago and didnt transition them slowly, realizing after 1 day, fixed my mistake (pukes mostly. It made me realize). They seemed fine, they liked it enough to eat it, but they disliked the sensitive blend enough to not eat it all at once. I ended up having to mix t”

“I have a 4-year-old British Shorthair who suddenly doesn’t want to eat, is very lethargic, and has been vomiting white foamy liquid. There doesn’t seem to be any food in the vomit, just white foam/bubbles. I’m extremely worried because my other cat, who was also 4 years old and the same breed, died last Saturday. I’m scared that whatever happened to my other cat might also be affecting this one. Has anyone experienced something similar with their cat? What could cause these symptoms, and how urg”

“Last Friday overnight my cat threw up. He rarely throws up. He seemed off in the morning, hiding under bed. He usually sleeps cuddled with me all night. He wouldn't come down to eat. My cat lives to eat. So I just watched him and kept wondering if maybe he licked something he shouldn't have. He threw up a little more and I decided to try and get into a Vet. In afternoon Vet looked him over. Xray showed no obstruction. Temp normal, gums normal. Nothing obvious. He gave him an injection to”

“My 9 year old neutered bengal has been on and off sick for over a week and we don’t know what to do… On 9/2 I gave him Credelio flea and tick, he had had it the month before with no issues On 9/4 he threw up a good amount of blood and I took him to ER. They said he was ok, possibly IBD or an ulcer and to go home with meds. He wouldn’t take the meds (an antacid, an anti nausea, and a liquid to help seal the gut). Vet said if it was causing stress to stop and see how he does. He seemed good all we”

“I just got my cat back after leaving on vacation, and she is dry heaving like twice or more a day. Before, it just looked like she was hacking up a hairball, but its only gotten more aggressive. It doesnt even sound like gagging anymore, its just airy and shes coughing. It gets scarier every time, she looks like shes in pain. Does this sound like asthma? Or is it a cause for concern? My cat has done this today like 3 times and its only 1:00. What do you think? Shes a 2 year old female, shes a bi”

“Hi! My 17yo male cat has been randomly (mostly after eating) smacking his lips and silently gagging. it’s been 3 days of this - he’s never fully thrown up any food even after eating, only mucus. The gagging isn’t like how he normally gags when he throws up food or a hairball. there’s no lead up it just looks like he’s got a hair stuck in his mouth or something and then he’ll look like hes thrown up but nothing comes out. So hard to explain sorry, but i took him to the vet yesterday and he got bl”

“I rescued my 4 year old Bengal in May 2026. I was told she had a history of vomiting and that the rescue suspected a fish allergy. Since having her, I’ve kept a food diary and she seems to vomit regardless of what food she’s eating. I’ve tried Royal Canin Fussy, Scrumbles wet food (chicken, duck and turkey), and she’s currently on Hill’s Prescription Diet z/d hydrolysed protein dry food with FortiFlora daily, which she’s been on since around June. She’s had blood tests, including glucose and B12”
