Hi guys, I'm writing about my cat Mick, who seems to be bulimic, although he's overweight. He's 11 years old, neutered, I adopted him from a humane society when he was 10 weeks old. He weighs about 18-19 lbs. He's a big cat.
Anyway, I have noticed that he will go and eat his food and then I'll come home from work and find little piles of cat vomit all over the floor. Sometimes I'll be home when he does it (it's so disgusting), and when he's done, he promptly goes back to his bowl and eats some more. I don't understand why he gorges himself this way.
Tonight, he started hacking like he was going to puke, and it got so bad that I thought he was wheezing so I freaked out thinking that he was choking. But then he calmed down and nothing came out. He's still jerking his head a little and I hear little noises coming from his tummy, but he seems to be ok otherwise.
He drinks plenty of water. He's been tested for diabetes because of his weight and how much water he drinks, but the test was inconclusive according to the vet.
I'm worried. I love this cat so much, he's been with me through a lot of hard times. It's like me and him against the world. I am really scared that there's something wrong with him.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
