My cat Pita has been throwing up a lot lately, probably once every 2 to 3 days, a short time after eating. He's been throwing up his food now and then for about a year, but never with so much frequency. It's food and liquid, no hair. We feed him a small bit multiple times a day throughout the day, no huge meals. He acts like he's hungry ALL the time, but he's not losing any weight (he's a bit heavy, but I assume that's because he's hitting middle age), so I haven't been real worried about it. He is 9 years and has short hair. Last time we took him to the vet (less than 6 months ago) he was pronounced quite healthy. I'm thinking of just taking him to the vet again, but I'm open to your ideas about how to stop this too.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

That sounds far too frequent to be normal and I would think your best option is to talk to your vet. If you don't get satisfying answers seek another vet's opinion. It could be anything from the type of food to a stomach issue, but your vet would hopefully be able to pin it down. Let us know how it goes. Is Pita's food wet or dry?

He eats dry food, Purina One Special Care for Urinary Tract Health Formula. My hubby is encouraging me to take him in to the vet as well, so looks like Pita is gonna be going on a vet trip!

My Jack was like that, and it mainly happend in the summer. The vet couldn't find anything wrong with him, but gave him an anti sickness injection.
I've finally found a wet food that sits on his stomach, because that seemed to be his problem

Get off the Purina, We had that problem, and we have 8 cats.
I went to Iams, and have since had no problems like that. The Purina one I had 3 that could not even eat that dry.
Good luck
