Is it possible for a cat to be bulimic?

Question

My cat just puked. I was on the computer, and this is the second time this happened! I have been spending alot more time with her lately; it's just she wanted to sleep today. The puke was cat food and I havn't fed her people food in like 02 weeks.

So is this just a coincidence, or is my cat trying to tell me something?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

No, it's not. Bulimia is an eating disorder driven by the obsessing desire to be skinny, and I'm sure your cat doesn't have a concept of that. It sounds like your cat isn't feeling well, or she has a hairball that she isn't getting out. You should keep an eye on her, and if she keeps doing it or her symptoms get worse, you should consider a vet.

Answer 2

I doubt your cat is shoving its paw down its throat to make itself sick and binge eating!

Perhaps you should read about what bulimia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulimia_ner...

Edit: The whole point to focus on there is "its a cat" a cat won't be thinking "oh god I'm really fat i should go purge" so, still nope.

Answer 3

No, I don't think so. My cat barfs, too, and she was sick when she did it a lot. Take her to the vey and see how it goes. My kitty was put on a special diet and she's doing much better.

Good luck!
