I have an older cat who recently has been emitting yellow liquid vomit at least once every 2 days (that I notice). I feed him science diet light mixed with the high grade Purina and a third of a can of canned food each day. I sometimes give him table scraps(loves cheese), but just morsels here and there. I use non clumping cat litter. He had his left eye(glaucoma) and 3 absessed teeth removed a year ago. What causes this and how can I prevent it?

Hi,

How old is your cat and when was his last vet visit/bloodwork?

Does he vomit at any particular time of the day, right after eating, first thing in the morning?

Does he have dry food available at all times?

Is he urinating/defecating normally and do you notice any increase or decrease in his eating and/or drinking habits?

Thanks for any additional detail enabling me to provide you with the most complete answer.

Reply to Jessesmom's Post: Hello,

He is approx 12 or 13. Got him fill grown.

Vomit seems to be sporadic.

Dry food is always available.

Seems normal, however, he goes to the litter box after he throws up and hangs out for a moment(doesn't do anything) and then leaves
