Hi!
Iam all very new to this forum idea of things, however was hoping that someone would be able to help me. I have a male cat who is coming up for 2, lately he has been sick in the mornings. He becomes very vocal then vomits, sometimes it is just fluid, but other times he can be vomiting up his food! He is an in-door cat, I also have his sister, she is healthy. I wouldn't say he is ill in any way, he is still eating his usual and drinking and still seems healthy and always friendly as usual.
I'm not sure if its a trip to the vets for us, but thought I may aswell try something like this to see if anyone can help me! I would be happy to hear anyones suggestions!
Getting very brave and even editing my first post! Ment to add in somewhere that he always seems to get the hicups when he has finished eating as he always seems to eat faster than his sister, but this hasn't affected him in the past!

Many Thanks, Kim

what do you feed him? wet or dry? how much do you feed and what sort of bowl is it fed in? is he long hair or short hair? does he go outside? you say he does this in the morning only? is he only fed once a day? has he had his heart and lungs checked in the last year? is he up todate on his vaccinations, worming and flea treatment? i personally would take puss to the vets.

He either gets feed Whiskers or Felix, they get wet food and dry food, he gets fed in a pastic bowl, with 2 sections (if you now what I mean). He is sort haired and is a house cat. He usually is sick in the morning, when I get up, he is feed 3times a day, half a pouch between him and his sister three times a day. He is up to date with all his treatment, boosters etc, he has recently only had his last vets check up. I will arranage a visit to the vest tomorrow, was just thinking someone would maybe have experiencd this similar problem! Thanks

some cats with heart problems gulp air but i don't think that's whats up with your kitty. really couldn't say as i'm not a vet nor do i know your cat. best to have the vets have a look and listen. good luck let us know how you get on!

Thanks so much for your help, I will phone the vest tomorrow and get him booked in! I know he loves a trip in the car anyway I will keep you posted how we get on! Thanks again! Kim

Could just be hairballs - doesn't matter if long haired or short haired, my short hair still gets them once in a while xx

if he's eating fine, acting completely normal otherwise it may just be something small like him drinking less water and eating more biccy x
has there been fireworks around you also? could be a little anxiety from night befores noise etc xx

let us know what vet says but i'm sure he's fine hunny - at least once he's checked though you'll know xx

One of our moggies (10 this month) has developed and intolerance to the cheaper brands of cat crunch (Whiskas, shops own etc.) as she's got older and is usually sick if she manages to get any of that.

Recently we've been making sure to get ones that are gluten free and she's been fine with those.

My concern Kim would be the hiccups, this is not something I have ever observed in any of my cats.

Hi Fiona,
Are you only feeding them dry food? Their main intake should be wet food with some dry as well to excercise the teeth.
Good luck Kim and hope little pussy has nothing seriously wrong.

not had exactly the same but my bengals can be sensitive to change of food and have been sick if they gulp down food too fast - this usually happens when they feel that they are competing with the others.

I hope all is well and the vet can shed some light on this for you.

My cat used to be sick after eating dry food - Go Cat was the worst but he now has a different brand - our pet shop's own mix and he's fine with those.
Hope there's nothing serious wrong with him. Good luck at the vet's.
