Hello All,
I have a problem with my cat for whihc I woudl appreciate any suggestions.
Chiki, my cat, is generally a healthy 2.5-year old cat. She has sensitive stomach and she is very finicky so she eats only her favorite non-grain wet food + breast boiled chicken. The problem is that since I moved from a smaller spartment to a bigger apartment or (one week after) she has been vomiting every day after eating mostly with hairballs. She had the occasional hairball in my old house but not like this.
I think it has to do with the moving since I ahve not changed her food or anything like that. I think she is overgrooming, but I never see her doing it before (we moved last year too), so I was wondering if it can be the dry air in the apartment causing her to overgoom? This house is older and is heated by strong radiators. I myself have now dry skin and clotted nose. I put water bowls close to them but not sure it helps. Does any one see this before?? any suggestion?
It can be also the new house stress, She usually stays alone during the day ( 9;30-6:30) . She definitely does not like to be alone after 5 pm, but she is sued to as I work like this since she was a kitten. I always have felliway diffuser connected and Both houses have big windows, the new one overseeing a park but birds were much common in my previous house ( it is winter too). The only other change I think, it is that I played with her with a sticky toy. She love love them, so she licks it and carry it but she does not eat it. I took it away now.
I am giving her now my "best vet" remedy for hairballs -green bottle and it has been 2-days without vomiting, but i do not want to keep her on these forever.
Any help would be fully appreciated!
Thanks
