Cat Puking?

Any insight on this would be helpful.

My kitty has been throwing up her food maybe once a week.  It doesn't look like hairballs or anything, we just come home and find clumps of undigested food.  At first I thought she might me adjusting to a new diet (we just brought her home a month and a half ago), but since it's continued I wonder if she might be eating too fast?   She had been checked for everything by the adoption center, and I'm reluctant to take her in unless I need to (trying to get her in the carrier and drive her across town is kind of traumatizing for her).  

Has anyone had experience with this?  Is this something I should be worried about?

Thank you!

It's definitely not normal to puke up food this much. When did you adopt her? I hate to say it but sometimes they don't check them as well as they should at those adoption centers. What kind of food did you switch her too and how old is she?

We have been using a dry indoor cat food, Pet Pride.  I think they had her on something organic.  They said she hadn't been eating much when she was around the other cats, and she has definitely gained some weight since we got her.  We think she is somewhere between 1 and 3 years old.

I've never even heard of Pet Pride. I'm willing to bet it's got a ton of grains in the food which means it's full of gluten and bad for kitties. Most cats cannot tolerate all those grains. Can you get her something of a better quality and grain free?

Worth switching to wet food? My cat pukes after dried 90% of the time - it swells in their tummies. My partners cat was the same when it was around, bless him.  Good quality wet food is better for cats anyway, in my opinion.. and after having a cat with a stubborn UTI and the expense of a hospital stay, I'd never feed him dry again! He didn't even eat it that often either.

Anyway, good luck, I hope you find an answer soon.

I agree with the comments above me.  If she were puking from eating too fast, it would probably happen right after she was done eating and so you'd actually see her do it, at least sometimes.  No vomiting is truly 'normal' but this is far too frequent to be considered to be in the realm of 'not a big deal'.

I'd probably recommend a vet visit if you can just to be sure nothing is really off.  If that all checks out okay, I'd consider a switch to wet food, or if you really can't manage that for some reason a very high quality grain free low carbohydrate dry food and see if that fixes the issue.

I am sorry you are going through this with your new kitty!

Absolutely! A wet grain free better quality food I think will help enormously.
