Cat throwing up food?

Question

I have a cat that has been eating the same food for a year no problem. I had to go out of town for a family funeral and when I returned, the cat peed on my bed. I figured he was upset (he had never been left alone before) then he is throwing up his food. I have 3 additional cats and it is not affecting them. I am wondering if he is stressed out by being left alone and eating too fast. The food doesn't even looked chewed. What should I do?

Answer 1

My cats always seem to do that. And yes it looks like they just swallowed it whole but I think it is because thy ate too much and too quickly. That may be the problem

Answer 2

I dont know?

Answer 3

well, I know that they can become anxious when left alone. Under such agitation, it is common for pets to have stomach upsets. HOWEVER, watch very carefully for bowel movements and activity level because cats ALSO eat things they find on the ground when they are frustrated. If you are worried, bring the cat to the vet and check for anything in the stomach that shouldnt be there.

good luck!

Answer 4

Gulping down food like this is a sign of stress. Have you checked if he is competing with the other cats for food? Sometimes cats that are low in the pecking order know they will be pushed aside when the more dominant cats get to the food so if they get to it first, they'll try to gulp it down as fast as they can.

Answer 5

Yes he prob throwing it up because he is eating too fast!!!!

Answer 6

my cat does that too, sometimes. its probably from eating too much, too fast. ther than thats hes perfectly healthy.

Answer 7

if you have never left he before, then she may not of eaten while you were gone, then gobbled her food down when you got home, and that upset her tummy, it doesn't sound like this is anything serious, but if if does continue she may have a hair ball she cant get rid of, I wouldn't worry though, its not serious, your a good cat momma though,
