Help. Cats keep vomiting

[Stowickthevast]

Hoping someone has some advice. I've got two 4 year old cats. We've had the odd bit of cat vom in the past but for the last month or so it's been literally every morning when we wake up. It's a mix of regurgitated dry food and bile, with the odd bit of grass mixed up.

Any tips on how to solve this? They haven't had any change in diet. They're on half wet and half dry and get fed twice a day am & pm. They seem fine otherwise and never vom through the day, it's always at night.

We really need a new sofa but am reluctant to get one as they've been sick twice on the old one in the last week. I suspect it's the female but not sure as I never see it happening.

A Cat mat slow feeding mat might help, if they are rushing food for some reason that can make them throw up later. Are their wormers up to date?

If it’s bile each morning, trying giving them some food before bedtime, hunger pukes, particularly yellow bile is a thing if they go a long time without any food.

We just dewormed them a couple of days ago as had the same thought so that may take a while to work.

We reduced the food they were getting last year after the vet told us female was overweight so they are always hungry, especially in the morning.

Maybe I'll try just giving wet at 5 and dry before bed and see if that helps. They love the dry and do wolf it down.

It's a mix of regurgitated dry and bile but not yellow, normally brown.

I do also have a slow feeding mat so could try that on the female. She'll hate it though! It's tricky as there's two of them so whatever you give one, the other just steals.

I also just realised the cat fountain had gone off so have just refilled that and she came and drank from it so that could be why she's eating grass 🤞

It sounds to me like they're really hungry, wolfing their food down and then throwing it up.

Can you feed them just before bed or set up an automated feeder to go off during the night?

My girl cat has a slow feeder. She looked at us in disgust the first time she was presented with it.

However after a painful realisation this was the only way she was getting fed, she figured it out and now it's what she expects.

Didn't help that the elderly cat with dementia figured it out faster than she did!

I got slow feeding bills for my serial vomiter. Game changer! I got some Omeprazole for when it's really bad, but hardly used it.
