How often does your cat vomit?

[MadameGazelleIsMyHomegirl]

And is once a week too frequent? (Proper full-on spew, not just a slimy hairball)

We get one every month or two, from three cats - usually from guzzling. Hocking up like that might be a problem, or if it is from feeding give it less in one load.

Our cat threw up very rarely, but then started vomiting every day for months. Unfortunately it's turned out to be caused by lymphoma but we got a lot of people telling us it was normal. If it's a change for your cat I'd get it looked into - could be something as simple as eating too much or hairballs but if it's unusual it's worth looking into.

I should qualify that our previous cat threw up regularly but always did (first thing he did when we brought him home at 8 weeks was throw up behind the telly!).

Nope not every week, not even every month.

Hairball frequency depends on type and amount of hair obviously.

Not normal to vomit that much, something going on, that needs looking into

Between 2 cats, only about 3 hairballs in 3 years.

But vomit, as in the food they've eaten? Girlcat maybe once a month or so, boycat around twice a week on average someimes more sometimes less. He has a tendency to eat and eat his dry food until he's stuffed then throw it all back up right away. I mean so soon after that sometimes he only just gets away from the bowl far enough to miss it. If I don't see it right away, Girlcat often clears it up for me though (not envy).

I should point out that he's done this almost from the day they moved in, and having had his MoT just last week the vet is very satified with his health and condition.

Mine has always been sick a lot. Mostly after he has eaten. Something to do with the way their throats and positioned I was told.

When I got Cheddar she was vomiting almost every other day. Huge amounts. Changed her diet and it stopped. She's had to many dreemies last week and vomited 4 times in 3 days.

Thanks everyone. This is interesting as our cat vomits regularly but it’s psrtially to fully digested. It’s a kind of orangey brown slimy puke and it gets everywhere, like the entire stomach contents are ejected.

I should add the vet was a bit dismissive but I don’t think we made clear that it wasn’t the ‘gulp food too quick’ vomit that most of you describe.

My kitten is coming up on 6 months and has never vomited. Is this something that happens as they get older?

Not necessarily tired.
Cats do vomit every now and then (hairballs or odd things eaten or as on this thread more often to do with how it in what position they eat). I have lived with 5 cats
Over the years (not all at once!) and I think at a guess i have seen them vomit inside around 2 or 3 times
Each in their life. Out in the garden slightly different as they
Sometimes chew grass purposely to
Make themselves sick - but even then once a month would be a lot
For mine. Perhaps I’ve just been lucky ?
Op hope yours is ok.

My cats tend to only throw up if they eat grass. One loves grass as his before breakfast meal but we've learnt to wait until he's done it to feed him.

That's what our cat has had op. How long has it been going on for? I'd get it checked.

Very rarely, but a few months ago he began vomiting nearly every day, I knew something was wrong but the vet couldn't find anything amiss. He was eventually given an X-ray and they found he had swallowed a small rubber washer that was stuck in his intestines, as it had a hole in the centre it didn't cause a complete blockage. They had to be operate to remove the washer.

I'm hoping I'll be as lucky. Have been lucky so far in that she doesn't scratch any furniture and hasn't scratched any of us not even my erm, heavy handed toddler. Although if she's up on the window or worktop at toddler head level she gives her a hit . So hopefully my luck will keep up and she doesn't vomit often! She will be an indoor cat I think.

I really feel that the frequency and the fact that she does a full stomach-emptying puke of digested food indicates something is wrong. Oh dear. Off to the vets again...

Here is my cat's X-ray.. the little rubber washer is the tiny square dark spot..

Oops clearly unable to share photo 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm wondering, could your cat be getting fed elsewhere? Mine does and it drives me bananas because I don't know who it is that's feeding him and every note I tie to his collar falls off (I find them on the pavement on my dog walks). But he vomits and it's food I don't recognise. Plus he smells of perfume, the cheat.
I feed him, never knowing if he's been recently fed (he'll meow for food like clockwork, regardless of whether he's dined away or not). Consequently, he vomits much more than he should.
