Thank you! Morgs has always been a scarfer - what I tend to do with her now is 3 meals a day spilt into smaller portions! I’ve tried a lick mat with her but she just gets so angry the food isn’t coming quick enough, so ends up leaving a bunch of it. Thankfully she’s been fine overnight, so hopefully it was just a blip and she’ll be right back to normal today! I could probably spilt into 4 meals but it’ll be tricky with my work schedule sadly….Just wanted to add to my above post a little more about what I said regarding vomiting undigested food.
My cat was a stray who experienced a starvation event before being rescued, so he was always a scarfer when it comes to food. He tries to eat all available food as fast as possible.
And that is what led to many of his vomiting episodes. He'd eat so fast he'd throw it up. And if I wasn't home when it happened, he'd almost always re-eat it (gross, I know).
But you mentioned that Morgana is food-motivated (I believe you put it as "food mad"). If you experience vomiting more, consider looking at her eating pace, and quantity-per-meal.
This was a very frequent issue with my cat Willy, since right after his rescue around age 1. He's slowed down over the last 9-10 years, but he was such a scarfer in those first few years after being rescued (he probably went through so much trauma that he thought every meal could be his last) that he threw up all the time, right after eating. Until I figured out the right feeding schedule.
