Missy our old cat [about 18] sometimes right after she eats she will throw it back up. It is not even started to be digested yet, Its hard food that is just wet and stuck together, When I lived alone I had a cat that also did the same thing. Is this a reaction to stress or do they eat to much at one time or is it something to be worried about?

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

If you can I would transfer her to wet food and feed her lots of small meals. That is good for older cats' digestion and helps against kidney problems.

On a earlier post some months back someone had suggested raising the height of the food dishes??? My senior (soon to be 17) eats several small meals throughout the day.
He doesn't eat the same stuff as the others as he is so much older!!

Sometimes they eat too much or too fast. Raising the dishes can help slow them down, as can spreading the food out so it's in a single layer. If the vomiting continues, get her to a vet. A senior panel (bloodwork) would be a good idea on an 18 year old cat, as it can catch problems (hyperthyroidism, diabetes, chronic renal failure) in the early stages while they are easy to treat.
