This Cat Again....

Some cats are pukers, lol! My mom had a cat that threw up every day for the 21 years he lived. She had every test done, tried many different foods, hairball meds, you name it, she tried it. She finally just resigned her self to cleaning it up daily. She loved him enough it didn't matter, I guess. You may just have to accept it. Try tweaking his eating schedule and see if you can get him on a different "puking schedule." :)

probably a long shot...our cat only does this when i wait too long to feed her (and by too long, i mean 20 or 30 minutes later than normal....rme) and she eats so friggin fast she pukes it back up. you'd know if that's what it was though, it'd be all undigested (practically dry) cat food. it's even better because if i don't jump right up, the dog will eat it. EW. that's the only time our cat throws up.

stupid cats.

I feel your pain! Since my pregnancy and the birth of my now two-year-old daughter, our cat took it upon herself to pee herself out of every room, meaning we have to shut all the doors to the rooms upstairs! She lost all her privileges to come into those bedrooms.

When she pooped on DD's changing table that was my last straw. I simply can't take her anymore. She is not even a nice cat. She is anti-social and meows louder than my daugher's crying.

I love animals. I really do, but this cat just doesn't cut it with her peeing and pooping on more things than my potty-training daughter.

And I would take 10 dirty diapers over the smell of cat pee.

I guess I'm lucky bc my husband cleans up after HIS cat..but yes, again, I feel your pain.

It could be allergies to cat food. Yes, this happens and is much more common than people thing. I had a cat that was allergic to corn and chicken, which is the main ingredient in the majority of foods. Iams used to make a Lamb and Rice that he ate until they changed the formula to include..chicken! And Corn!
Iams as far as I am concerned is just like feeding your cat junk food. It has cheapened out and it's not that good anymore. But they still charge for the name.
I would seriously look at a different food and see if it helps. We feed our cats Blue Buffalo Turkey and Potato as we still have cats with sensitive stomachs. The one with the allergies passed on a couple years from old age. It is a little more expensive but it has more nutrition so they don't eat as much.
You want to slowly transition them to a new food, not up and pour a full bowl of the new stuff when you run out of the other stuff. This can cause loose stools. You slowly decrease the amount of the old food and increase the new food until you are totally on the new food.

I, too, have a cat that throws up frequently. He is 16 but this has been his habit for quite some time. Got to clean some up at 5:00 this morning. At least this time he hit the hardwoods. That alone is rare. Our poor carpet!

His littermate brother starting throwing up every day when he was 13. That was abnormal. He'd always been the "clean" cat. Then it was more than once a day, then after every meal. After multiple vet visits we learned he had stage 4 stomach cancer. It was so far, and took up so much of his stomach we couldn't do anything to help but make him comfortable with anti-nausea meds for as long as we could.

I miss that cat. But I still get to clean up spit up!

And don't get me started on the dog... :)

Sit down and tell her that its ok if she needs to go somewhere and die ;) sorry but i hear ya, that would drive me crazy. i have a 15yo dog that is starting to get old and i just throw my hands in the air when i come home to vomit and sometimes contemplate saving the cleanup for the husband b/c its his dog and i only have a mil other things to do.

Sorry, at 3 am, kitty becomes "his" cat again. You elbow your husband awake, tell him his cat's gotten sick again and the paper towels are in the kitchen, then roll over and got back to bed once he's gotten up.

I'm not sure what the mess is like...you should be able to tell. I have two long haired cats and there is a difference between hairball and food mess.

Kitty is getting old, she may need her food changed according to her more mature stomach. Foods for younger cats maybe too heavy for her. Try seeing if feeding her a little less and something "lighter" helps.

I'm sorry you have to be woken up & have clean-up.
I know it has got to be so hard.
I feel your pain.
But I feel for the cat. No his/her fault.
Hmm, what about buying "mature cat" food for her.
Put a call into your vet & ask what they can recommend for her as far as food that will be easy on her maturing tummy.
Can you try to find a way to comb her hair so she doesn't have a chance to lick it up into a hairball?? I don't know but thought I'd throw it out there.
Did they already get her bloodwork back today from today's visit?
I know it's hard for you and I'm sorry but it would be like you & me getting old and everybody ready to kick us to the curb because we are old.
I've already started thinking about that.
Just try & remember, she is not trying to make your life difficult.
She is truly having a hard time.
Maybe have him clean up the mess.
Can you sleep w/ear plugs so you don't hear her? Just an idea.
Hang in there. I know it will get better soon!!!!
