The more common causes of vomiting in cats include felinology, gastrointestinal inflammation or obstruction by foreign bodies, and various internal diseases. Depending on the number of times the cat vomits and the content of the vomit, it may represent different causes and require different treatments. The owner can first observe the cat's vomiting and take photos of the vomit before deciding whether to take the cat to the veterinarian.

The most common cause of vomiting in cats is hairball disease. Because cats like to lick their fur, it is difficult to avoid eating a large amount of hair into their stomachs. Over time, these hairs may cause the peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract to be blocked, while also irritating the gastrointestinal tract and causing vomiting in cats. The frequency of vomiting caused by hairball disease is generally not too high. The vomit is often a mixture of hair and mucus. Just give the cat some hairball cream or cat grass to help it expel the hairballs.

If the vomit the cat vomits is some undigested cat food or some yellow or white mucus, and the vomiting is frequent, the owner needs to keep a closer watch on the cat. If the cat quickly returns to normal after vomiting, generally there is generally no major problem. It may be a transient gastrointestinal symptom caused by eating too fast or too much, and the cat will generally return to normal after fasting for 4 hours. If the cat shows obvious mental or appetite abnormalities, or vomits more frequently, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital in time.

No matter what the cause of vomiting is, it will cause an imbalance of ion levels in the cat's body and dehydration. Therefore, it is very important to stop vomiting in time and actively investigate the cause.
