I completely understand why you're worried about your cat throwing up after meals or drinks. Let's explore this a bit. There are a few reasons your 16-month-old kitty might be experiencing this. It could be as simple as eating or drinking too quickly, leading to regurgitation. Sometimes, it's due to hairballs, especially if she's a diligent groomer. On the other hand, it might be a mild gastrointestinal issue or food intolerance.
At home, try offering smaller, more frequent meals and make sure your cat is not eating too quickly. You can use a puzzle feeder to slow her down. Ensure fresh water is available at all times but watch her drinking speed if she gulps it down too quickly.
Keep an eye out for any additional signs of concern such as lethargy, diarrhea, or a complete loss of appetite, which might suggest a more serious issue. If vomiting persists or worsens, it’s important to consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to discuss her symptoms further. They'll be able to guide you on necessary next steps, ensuring your fur baby gets the best care possible.
