The main question is why do they have to run to the carpet to do it??

[aliyavisuals_]

Here are the Top 8:

1. Inadequate feeding
2. Low quality treats
3. Food intolerance/Allergies
4. Gastroentritis (poor digestion)
5. Poisoning (grass/pesticide)
6. Intestinal Absorption Disorder
7. Hair balls
8. Diseases

With my two girls, I figured a while ago it was likely due to either the food, allergy to the food, not feeding them at the exact same times each day, a lack of routine combing, stress from mealtime from the sister wanting to steal food, and eating too fast because of the prior possibility. I've taken some steps to solve and eliminate some of these elements, but they still vomit from time to time, usually within 20 to 30 minutes of eating. This really is a multifaceted problem that is not easy to solve.

I have, however, perfected cleaning catfood vomit from my carpet! Sprinkle baking soda on the effected area, then pick up the bile with a paper towel. Sprinkle a bit more if needed then rub another paper towel on the area. Then use a scrub brush on the area. Then use a water-vinegar mix spray to very lightly cover the area. Use scrub brush again. Dry by rubbing paper towels. I am not sure if this is safe for all carpets, but with my white carpets I can't tell where they barfed.

Guys, I *DO RECOMMEND* changing diet from complete sh*t food to *RAW FEEDING*
My puss used to vomit EVERY SINGLE DAY, no matter how small portions I gave her.
Been transferring her 1 week ago, slowly adding raw food to get her used to the taste and smell, and I swear *no more pukes* . Best decision ever!
It’s a little bit more expensive, but worth give a go. You cant really overfeed them, they are much more playful and healthy, and if you compare the food vomited plus eaten to the raw food price, I guess it’s the same at the end :D

Also, complete sh*t food leads to obese, kidney problems etc...
Have a research and do it for your loved one 😻

i was about to sleep my cat vomitted on my bed

[elizabethnygard]

my cat pukes multiple times a week for about a year now and the vet say she's completely healthy and there's nothing wrong :')

Just went through this, this morning! Bleh

My cat was puking often and I kept calling the doctor's office, they suggested it could be because of hair ball and suggested to give cat malt. Or it could be a parasite and I put an antiparasitic ointment above his neck. After the condition of cat did not improve and he lost significant amount of weight, I took him to the vet. They said the cat has a tumor on spleen and that could be removed surgically. After they started surgery they said the cancer has spread to the stomach and the cat should be put down. So there- It feel horrible, not taking the cat to the vet earlier and the vet also did a mistake of not suggesting that it could be something serious. If your cat is puking foam/ food/ yellow red liquid. Please take it to a vet before it is too late.

[fauzanwafi]

My cat die yesterday, i still can't forget him😭

[thetowerstillstands]

I know if you change brands of cat food ( usually because the one you were using went defunct ) you need to do it slowly. Otherwise nothing stays down for a couple of days while the system is in shock.

True, start by checking them for parasites and please 🙏wash bowls and add fresh filtered water often .

My poor kitty once in a while vomits & can't figure out why. I did take her to the vet they recommended a $30 bag of cat food but didn't help. She also struggles with asthma & struggles with upper respiratory as well. I hate it when I find vomit on my bed.

[lattefreak.]

Oh god my whole rooms floor is a carpet....

My cat mimi: *Vomits on the bed*

[juicerblx]

My cat vomited and he just stayed there until my sister cleaned him up and put him to sleep

[vvtocagirlvv]

My cat barfs mostly 3 times a week my mom was like we can take her to the vet but if she start doing it on the carpet more we have to get rid of her. The vet said it’s her cycle but she’s only 1 year old. The vet said nothing it wrong with my cat. :)
