How often is a normal amount for a cat to puke?

Hi there! I’m glad you’re reaching out with your question. Typically, it’s normal for a cat to vomit occasionally, but it shouldn’t be a frequent occurrence. A cat might throw up once every few weeks due to something mild, like a hairball, which is pretty common, especially if they’re long-haired or groom each other a lot.



However, if your cat is vomiting more frequently, like several times a week or even daily, it might be worth looking into further. There are several potential causes for frequent vomiting, including dietary issues, food intolerances, allergies, and even stress. In some cases, it could indicate a more serious condition, such as gastrointestinal issues, infections, or organ problems.



For now, you can keep an eye on your cat’s eating habits and try offering them small, frequent meals to see if that helps. Make sure their diet is consistent and free from any sudden changes because that can trigger an upset stomach.



Watch out for any additional signs such as lethargy, diarrhea, weight loss, or changes in appetite. If you notice any of these, or if vomiting becomes more frequent, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can help you unravel what’s going on and suggest the next steps to ensure your furry friend is healthy and comfortable.
