My rescue kitty Chade does this. Sometimes the food would only stay down a few seconds and up it would come. I took her to the vet and she got a clean bill of health. So it was on to research. After much trial and error (and cleaning up) we found that she was allergic to wheat gluten and...

and Thank you Everyone!!! for all your great tips on cat food. My girl (the black one) acts like she had bulimia - she would eat dry food then throw it up. After asking the vet - no help there, said too expensive to do tests to find out what was going on - I tried Sensitive stomach kibble...

Laureen, not yet. I live in a large suburban area and you would think finding more "natural" and grain free would be easy. I get pretty bored standing in Petco or Petsmart (my only options other than the grocery store) reading all the ingredients. The supposed natural ones from the major...

I'm trying something similar with my fur babies. I have the fat cat/skinny cat syndrome with cats that eat exactly the same food. The fat cat (the black one in the photo - and yes the photo was taken when she was just a kitty) has always thrown up her food after eating. The vet said it would...

Yes, one of mine drinks from the toilet. The other loves to have her tummy rubbed. Last night my female started her guard behavior as soon as she heard DH's car coming down the street. He took a little too long coming inside, so she growled at him. Once she heard his footsteps (he wears...

They also are in charge of when it's bedtime. At 10pm one of them will come and tell me it's bedtime. Donny (the grey tabby) started it. He comes and sits by me at the computer and just meows until I get up and go to bed. Then everything is right with the world. Then he trained Chade to...

My female thinks she's a guard dog. Whenever she hears a car she doesn't recognize pull into our drive, she starts to growl at it just like our dogs used to do. Maybe she is taking over their guard duty as we don't have any dogs right now. She doesn't have the courage to do anything but...

My male cat does this still. Sometimes I think it's his comment on the food service. But really it's just their instinct to cover all smells so they can't be tracked by predators. I don't know what predator my male thinks he has to hide from inside my house. But since we swear he sees...

My male cat used to have this problem when he was a kitten. When he scared himself we could usually expect that to be followed by a giant stinky. Now that he is an adult that has stopped. I also switched both my cats to a dry kibble made for sensitive stomachs. That seems to be helping with...

Thank you for all your tips. Fortunately my cats are indoor only, so I don't have to go chasing for them outdoors. I've lived with tornadoes and severe weather all my life but this is the first time I've had to consider the cats during a shelter time. And it's been several years since a...

I searched the board for a topic similar to my question, but didn't find one. If I missed it, I apologize. Ok, here goes. I live in an area prone to severe weather - tornadoes, damaging wind, hail, etc. We had such a storm last night. I have 2 cats, both rescue kitties. One cat is a male cat...

Ok, I mixed the canned foods this morning. The little devils picked out the stuff they were used to and left the rest. So this may be more challenging than I thought. They are so picky about dry food as well. The older kitty loves the Chef blend Meow Mix I think. But it seemed to cause...

Now, why didn't I think of that? I'm trying so hard to find the right food for the guys, I'm just not thinking "outside" the can. compmom42
