Cat being sick repeatedly - but I don't know which one!

Not quite sure what to do - I've got two cats, and every day for over a week I've either come home and/or got up in the morning to a pile of cat vomit. So clearly, one cat isn't on top form - but I don't know which one.

Was thinking as a first move to worm both of them (they catch a lot of assorted rodents) but wondering whether anyone had any bright ideas other than taking both of them to the vet!

I've always wondered how is work it out as well. My vet is fairly cheap, I'd take both!

Keep them in separate rooms for either 24 hours or as long as it takes for culprit to reveal themselves.

Have you changed food brand at all? If they don't look otherwise sick was just wondering? Is it food come back up or bile? As suggested keep them separate for 24hrs

Ps. I can usually tell which one of mine has puked as it's still stuck around her mouth!

PIles of food - no change to brand, but tbf the 'look' of the food has changed so maybe there's been a recipe change. That's a good thought - I could try a different one that they've got on with ok before.

Neither looks sick - and neither appears to be off their game on the hunting front either, in fact very much the contrary (hence wondering if worming needed)

They're both litter tray refuseniks (farm cats by background) so I'd rather not keep them in if I can avoid it! Will try worming and then change of food as a 2nd line of attack.

I've had it happen with a recipe change one just kept throwing up. Swapped food and it stopped. Worth a try

Well, I've wormed both of them, was def due anyway. I think I still have all my fingers ;-)
