I have two cats...Bean, a female 10 year old Russian Blue, and Bear, a male 11 year old DSH.
My Bear has been vomiting, on a nearly daily basis, for years. It varies from seemingly in-tact kibble to dark brown bile. There does not seem to be any pattern to it...he isn't a "gobbler" in which a cat eats too quickly and pukes. He typically throws up once a day, but sometimes more. As he is an indoor kitteh, he is not on flea meds and has no access to any other chemicals in the house.
First...please don't admonish me for not bringing Bear to the vet. I have brought this kitty to different vets, several times. None of them seemed very concerned about this issue, as his weight is fine and he is otherwise in tip-top shape. He is never diagnosed as dehydrated, either.
Second...I have tried (slowly and gradually) several different foods over the years and nothing has helped.
While the vets seem to think he just has a "sensitive stomach," I've been slowly losing my mind trying to clean up after this poor cat. He pukes on everything...on the floor, on my bed, in the laundry basket, on the furniture, in his food, etc. I just don't know what to do. I have had very understanding partners, but it's super embarrassing and disgusting and I need some advice from other people who really know cats.
Any ideas? What would make my little guy vomit with such persistence?
