I posted about my new foster in the behavior forum when I discovered his "pretend spraying" and didn't realize that cats did this....
Yesterday evening, my husband got home from work, and I excitedly dragged him upstairs to see our newest stow-away in the bathroom (where he is living temporarily). When I opened the door, the kitty was lounging peacefully on our bathroom counter, but below him.... on the bathroom floor.... was puke. Everywhere.
There was 6 or 7 piles of puke. Most were well formed piles of digested food, but one was pure liquid/bile-y water.
Between his neuter, stress of moving to new surroundings, fasting before his neuter, vaccinations, intros to a new food, and the fact that he scarfs his food, I really wasn't surprised.
The same thing when I got up this morning. Piles of urp, one puddley water. But this time the puddley one had a reddish tinge to it. It didn't *appear* to be blood, but I'm watching that very closely.
So today I have him on plain gerber baby food (chicken, no onion). I'm giving it to him a tablespoon or so at a time (every hour-ish) to make sure he doesn't scarf it, and to hopefully give his stomach time to relax. He is drinking water on his own, but I will be picking up some plain pedialyte at the store to mix with the baby food just in case.
Since nothing is staying down, he has had nothing coming out the back door. How long should he go with no poos before I start to worry? He did one very small pee yesterday early afternoon, but nothing since.
