Kitty's sick.

[icarus]

My kitty's thrown up three times in the last 24 hours.

It's not hairballs, there's no clumps of fur. wildernessguru thought maybe some of his wet food had gone bad (we feed him the kind without the tons of preservatives, etc.) and I've noticed Fuzzhead hasn't been eating it right away in this hot weather. But this morning he threw up some dry food and a treat WG fed him last night (virtually unchewed), and WG told me that he threw up earlier this am, too.

What could be wrong? Cat lovers, tartanshell -- any theories?

is your house well air conditioned?
Sometimes my cats have a problem with the heat in the summer. Some of their symptoms are throwing up, seeming lethargic, and drinking a lot of water to try and stay cool.
Our main AC sometimes doesnt cool the whole house well enough, so I usually bring them into my bedroom (where i have a seperate AC) for a while, and that usually clears it up.

Then again, my cats are particularly sensitive to it because of either their breed, or coat type. (two siamese, who are always delicate, and two maine coons with coats that could rival a bear.)

either way, it could be something to look in to.

That's a possibility, but yesterday was in the 70's. You'd think this would have happened when it was hotter.

Still, he is a Maine Coon and we don't have AC. We shut all the drapes, leave the windows open, and there's the cool tile in the bathroom.

you never know. He might have got himself overheated somehow either doing something strenuous, or in whatever place he was napping.

one thing you could give a try, if he'll let you. Is a bath. Not too hot, but not cold either. The time it takes him to get dry afterward will get his temp down to where it might clear up. We do it with my oldest siamese, Luna, when she's having trouble.

If you do that, and it doesn't help, then it's time for a vet visit.
