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?

I would advise a wait-and-see, as long as he's drinking water and being relatively active. Whenever my cats have non-hairball vomiting and it's not just a stomach virus/bad food/tried to eat bugs, they're pretty good about advertising the fact that it's something more serious. Nothing chills me faster than a cat lying in the middle of the kitchen floor and just watching me when I enter the room.

Of course, by morning of the second day, I'm completely in a panic and calling off work and racing to the vet as soon as they can fit me in, so I'm probably not the best person to give advice.

You're right. He's looking fine, but this morning when his cat sick wasn't cleaned up he caught my attention and raced over to where it was. He didn't like it near his food bowl you see, and wanted me to clean.

WG and I, after reading tartanshell's response, think it's worms. He has had a kind of foamy liquid cat-sick in the past, exactly what she described.

Worms we can deal with, yes we can.
