what type of sick is it? Is it food, bile, bloody? I dont mean to be funny but can you describe it? I have four cats so am familair with different types of sick but am not a vet or qualified in that way at all - just had cats for 20 years.

Yes! The very cat that is currently sat on my lap, Pepper, is the one in our family.
We have five cats, and Pep has to eat separately from the other two (greedy) males. He eats in our lounge with the door closed, with one of the females. Otherwise, he gulps down his food and promptly brings it back up again.
Could this be the problem with yours? Let us know.

Just some sites that I googled. Hope your cat feels better soon.

I'd starve her overnight but let her have water. You know the bit of her neck where a mother cat would pick her up from? Lift up the fur in a pinch (not to hurt) and let it drop - does it drop back to normal quickly? If it takes a long time she is also dehydrated and you need to take it more seriously -if it goes back almost right away its not so bad.

Most animals this time of year are shedding their fur - try mixing some hairball biscuits in her food, also fleas are coming about this time of year and lots of cats (dont laugh) are allergic to them - when was she last given advantage or similar?

she might still have a fur ball that isnt coming up .you can try Katalax which is good one. My vet recommended it for our cat cos she was being sick but only bringing up food. She eventually after treatment with katalax brought up an enormous long bomb of matted gunk fur.

give her less food

more often

with a touch of cooking oil added

no kym she hasnt been out for a few days

dont laugh BUT she is only allowed out when the kids play out and comes in wen they do

thanks lesley i have googled but kinda wish i hadnt brought up stuff i no she hasnt got but made me feel worse lol

she was fleed 3 days ago and wormed the same day

like i say she only goes out whent he kids are in the garden and she mostly stays in the garden

she not dehydrated just checked poor stray and she fine in her self havent changed her food

im at aloss im defo not givin her nothing else till at least tomorow "makes me feel so bad tho lol"



EDITED i might try that shirley as she is a long haired kitty so may be the answer
aw i hope so poor stray:((

Do you know if she's had any trauma to her abdomen in the past? Pepper was knocked down by a car and lost a leg a couple of years ago, and has recently been diagnosed with pancreatitis. He's comfortable,and we give him regular medication. Better still, he has a great quality of life!

It might be worth the vet having a look at her, and feeling her gut. Sorry, not trying to sound worrying, it just sounds a bit like Pep was.
Keep us posted, won't you.

Ooh, just thought: with the possibility of furballs, don't they suggest giving a cat some liquid parafin? Check on that, but I'm sure I saw it somewhere (Gawd, I hope so, otherwise I've just made a right prat of myself! lol)

Vets - first thing in the morning !!!

better to be safe than sorry xxx

the only trauma that cat has

is when she cant have her own way lol

defo not glenys hun she nvr goes further than up the drive wen she leaves the garden and the kids no were sh is at all tyms they run in n tell me when she leaves the garden lol
and kids rnt ruff with her

ohhhhhhh i think ill try starving her for tonight then a blant diet for 2/3 days if that dont work ill go for the katalx

her little tray normal so im not overly worried just erm ok yes i am lol

shes fine in herself a very micheivious madam who runs the house haha

Glenis we should form a club! Ive never met anyone else with a three legged cat but you have one and so does pink!

If you do go to the vet - scoop some sick up in a zip lock freezer bag and take it with you. Sounds gross but we always do it and the other if they are not well.

I trust you have insured her? If not you could do a lot worse mine only cost between a fiver and eight quid a month each.

As Maddicow said - make sure she a fresh water and keep an eye on her. Try gently "pinching" her skin - like the vet does when they give them an injection and if it returns slowly she is dehdrated so you need to keep a close eye on her and maybe a trip to vet. My cat sometimes pukes for no apparent reason and we have put it down to him scoffing his food really quickly as he was a rescue and even after 7 yeras he still thinks that if he doesnt eat then and there it will go then he pukes it back up again !!! Nice ! The only other thing that you can check is that she hasnt got anything obvious stuck in her mouth or throat. Katalax is great stuff ! She may have a tummy bug in which case feeding her little and often and something bland like some chicken or some fish in water or oil, not brine. If she is happy in herself, just keep an eye on her you will know when you need to seek vet help. X Pets they are such a worry !!!
