Some advice needed here… I currently have a 5 month old kitten Penelope. I will preface this by saying I did just bring home another kitten last Saturday Ivy, and the first 2 days were rough- But now they are already best friends and play and nap together so I don’t think this could be stress induced at this point. Overall she had never been a big eater but originally I thought it was because she was so little. I am noticing recently that she still doesn’t eat a lot although she is acting completely normal! Playing, using her litter box, etc. I will say that I do always put some Churu on the top of her food as a food topper.. I’m thinking a started a bad habit because the only time I can get her to eat is if I put a little churu on the top. And then ultimately she just eats the Churu and the food around it. I have tried the kitten Meow Mix, Iams, and Blue Buffalo. I have tried heating the food to enhance the smell. Still doesn’t eat all of her food.
Then 2 days ago I noticed she had vomited a couple times. Mostly it being all her food whole. She did vomit again today but only once and again, it was all her food whole. I’ve read some cats can do this if they eat too fast, but again I don’t think she is eating enough to have this issue.
Since she is acting completely normal I am hesitant to call the vet as we were just there last week to get her final vaccines and rabies shots.
My only thought now is that she could possibly be constipated? She is maintaining a healthy weight at 5lbs and I haven’t noticed she has lost any weight.
Not sure if I am overthinking this and I just have a picky eater on my hands, or if there is something else going on.
I appreciate any and all feedback!!
