strays pussy is a long hair

One of my long hair cats has phases of projectile vomitting now and then. Doesnt happen for months, then does it for several days on the trot. It is always after eating food (dried or tinned) or milk and quite often happens as she is walking away from her food dish. Never known her to be sick any other way/time, nor have I seen her bring up any fur balls - maybe that happens when she is outside.

You could chew it up for her pmsl.
Dont suppose you love her that much lol.

me and dog were thinking this last night as me dog baby satan and my niece (who is still here ) have been under the weather lol

but she kept the last food down which funny u say mash it the gravy in it was like water and as i opened the can it spilt all ovr me and the floor grrr

Stray just had an idea. Mash up her food till almost liquid. Maybe if she laps it up,it will go down better.
At least you might get an idea if there is a blockage or if she is just sick a bug...do cats get tummy bugs?? lol

Marion

mmm,confused Kevin lol

GET THE CAT A DOG IT WILL BE MORE THAN SICK.

Athena, she does the same with tinned food.The vet said it is because she is such a 'nervy Nellie'.The other cat, a large black female is getting fatter and fatter, so much so, her legs seems to be getting shorter.We know she must do the rounds of other people's houses, greedy old fool.Lol. Lovely cat though.I have had countless cats over the years.Completely different characters, like people.

ye i will do babes she just had sum more food fingers crossed lol

Hi all.

Keep an eye on her anyway Stay. could be something stuck that is stopping her food go down.

lol i dont mind emma ya kind of get used to yuckys things (i worked with kids for years lol)

but poor hubby "dog" he has a very delicate stomach pmsl

I have 2 cats - brother and sister.. The little girl is hardley ever sick, but the male.. he goes through fazes.. he wont be sick for ages and then he is constantly sick for 2 weeks - food and furbulls. I comb him every day now with the winter coat being lost. But I have also noticed - if he has eaten and then goes chasing after his sister he will throw up.. Always a nice sound that is lol

Claddagh - could be because that dry food swells up in their stomach and probably makes them feel quite bloated and icky.

One of my daughters has two cats.One is a small tortoiseshell-coloured female,who was rescued from being drowned in a sack.She is a very nervous cat, we have never actually seen her eat in all the 17 years my daughter has had her.She is sick at least once a day, leaves a little pile of undigested (dry) food for us to slide on.Other than that, she is healthy.

My cat, Pepsi, is also a cat that throws up. He goes through phases of it every couple of weeks and it'll last a few days. It usually happens just after he's eaten and the whole lot comes up. I have a feeling it's because he's got a furball at that time that he can't get up.

But he's also vomited when I've had visitors, so I think nerves also causes it.

Like Lorraine's cat, Pepsi also ate cotton from a whole reel of it that he'd found on top of my wardrobe (which is where I used to keep my cottons). Well, the outcome was he had half his intestines removed and is lucky to be alive! Given the chance he'd do it all again - he is a nightmare with anything stringy and has pulled up carpet edges to eat the threads and forever making himself sick that way.

Maybe your cat ate something dodgy?

Hope you find out soon.

How's puss today?

Marion

my old cat had cotton wrapped round his intestines, got through clawing the curtains then must have eaten some of it,

he started being sick then got progressivley worse, not saying it is that but better to be safe then sorry

he had to have an op he was ok after .

best to get vets advice

Two of mine are 'sicky' cats... one is about 16, the other 13... so I have got used to it!

These are the times they are sick

If they have been de flea'd and/or wormed.
If their food dishes are too close to another cats
If they are thrown off the bed cos they forget to retract their claws when they are padding
If they have a meal they really like and gulp it down too quickly.

If there is too much activity going on around them while they are eating... even if it is pleasant activity
When they are moulting
If the weather temperature alters dramatically.

If I have a new item of furniture/rug/bedding.......

Any time they feel slightly stressed, hard done to, greedy, ignored, or need to avenge themselves of some evil deed I have done to them (visits to vets is absolutely guaranteed)


If Stray is not de-hydrated, seems happy and content, her coat still looks good and isn't looking too scruffy, her haws aren't showing, and the contents of her litter tray seem to be normal... then a quick check up to put your mind at rest tomorrow should sort you out, lol!!

Love
