Cat throws up undigested food?

  • My cats sometimes throws up a little food that is like not chewed on and just swallowed. I give them dry cat food and sometimes wet. How could I prevent my cat from throwing up food?


  • Animals throwing up undigested food is perfectly normal. My cats and dogs do it all the time. It just means that they are eating their food too fast.

    You might ba able to stop this by giving your cat less food at a time. Feed him half of what you normally feed him a day, but break it up into two meals, ya know? If this doesn't work, don't worry at all. It's perfectly normal.




    Hope I helped!

  • may be try one kind of cat food like the wet kind. either she/he can't chew good enough or it could be hair balls they throw that up also.
    and somethimes when there is more than one cat around they tend to eat faster to prevent other cats eating their food. good luck


  • If your cat is eating too fast there are a few things you can try. Elevate the food dish; feed more frequent meals in smaller portions; purchase a specially made bowl designed to slow down his eating. http://www.amazon.com/Brake-Fast-Dog-Foo...


  • They usually throw up undigested food because they are eating too fast. Try giving the food to him in small portions so that he doesn't eat so fast. I have a cat that does the same thing. I feed her a little and then if she is still hungry I will feed her a little more later. That may be what is going on with your cat.


  • Try mixing mostly wet food with a little bit of dry cat food. I wouldn't recommend breaking up the dry food because it's good for their teeth to break it down. If you mix it with the wet, they will have texture to deal with and most likely will chew it as they eat. Good luck!


  • Vomiting whole indigested pieces of food is common in cats eating an inappropriate diet of dry food.

    What happens is that your cat eats the correct amount of dry food to fill its stomach but they don t chew their food. They eat the pieces whole with maybe a crunch or two. As the food heads towards the stomach it begins to leach moisture from the cat and the food expands greatly. If this happens to fast and before the food makes it to the stomach, the cat vomits up full "puffed up" pieces of food.

    This can be prevented by feeding wet food as nature intended. Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. It's completely species inappropriate.

    All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they don't need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol' house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats.

    So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl.

    Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), bladder stones, kidney stones, urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions.

    Overall, wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs not our cats.
