Cats Throwing Up Every Day

Help, I'm really worried about my cats! Over the past few weeks, both of them have started vomiting every day, like clockwork, and I'm not sure what's causing it. They’re normally super healthy and full of energy, but now they just seem so tired and uninterested in their toys or even chasing each other around the house. I've kept their diet pretty consistent, so I'm struggling to figure out what might be wrong. I did switch to a new brand of cat food recently—could that be the culprit? Or maybe it's something else entirely? I’ve also noticed a bit of hair in their vomit, which makes me wonder if it's hairballs, but this still feels excessive. I've booked an appointment with the vet just in case, but I'm anxious and hoping someone might have some advice or similar experiences to share. I just want my babies to feel better!

Answer

Thanks for reaching out about your cat's situation. Seeing your feline friend throw up daily can be quite concerning. There are several potential causes for frequent vomiting in cats, and understanding these can help you decide on the next steps.



Common causes include dietary issues such as food allergies, eating too fast, or sudden changes in diet. Hairballs, especially in long-haired cats, can also lead to vomiting. However, more serious conditions like infections, kidney disease, liver problems, or gastrointestinal issues could also be at play.



At home, you can try feeding smaller, more frequent meals to see if that helps. Make sure you're using a high-quality food that's appropriate for your cat's life stage, and introduce any changes gradually. Ensuring your cat stays hydrated is important, especially if they're vomiting regularly.



Watch for signs that could indicate a more serious issue, like lethargy, ongoing diarrhea, blood in the vomit, or a noticeable loss of weight. If you notice these symptoms, it's best to seek veterinary care promptly.



To ensure your cat gets the best care, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They'll be able to offer personalized advice and determine if further testing or treatment is needed.
