Cat Throwing Up Food
General Cat Health Care
General cat health is also extremely important as a kitten so that they can grow up to be healthy throughout the rest of their life. Cat health care is one of the most important subjects for responsible and loving cat owners to be aware of. It involves prevention, understanding, and sometimes treatment of a possible life-threatening disease. Cat health care is also affected by lack of exercise and poor diet. You can love your cat into a state of being unhealthy without enough exercise and proper nutrition.
Talk to cat owners who have older cats. Ask them about cat health care for their older cats. What are the problems and what are the right foods and nutritional needs that fall under the term elderly care. If your cat does not receive the proper food and nutrition, they may have problems with their health. Talking about cat health care in advance will make it easier for everyone when the time comes.
Natural cat food is always a welcome one for all pet owners. There are brands of cat food that contains no chemicals and has lots of white meat and vegetables. The prices of these products will vary but because of the balanced diet, correct protein, and vitamins you are going to find the priced higher then the "store brand".
Heat and humidity degrade nutritional value, so do your best to buy fresh food. Once opened, your cat's dry food should be stored in a sealed pet feeder container to preserve freshness. As for soreness in your cat, heat is a good soother, heated cat beds or a heated throw will give much relief to this painful complaint. Massage is often beneficial but should be administered with care. Your vet will give you complete direction as to how long to do it.
Bad breath is another unhealthy sign. Your cat should have strong white teeth without odor. Dry cat food will give them strong gums, good healthy teeth, and that will give them clean breath.
Symptoms of flea allergy include hair loss, redness, and sometimes sores known as hot spots. Symptoms of diabetes in your cat include excessive urination and drinking along with weight loss or sudden obesity. If you find that your cat develops diabetes you need to carefully regulate diet and monitor blood sugar levels.
Fleas carry many diseases and can transmit these to your cats. Fleas carry the tapeworm cyst inside them and your cat inevitably swallows fleas during routine grooming .When this happens it is then that the tapeworm hatches and grows in your cat's stomach. Natural flea control methods and products provide a safer alternative to chemical insecticides. If you cannot reasonably control fleas with this "safer" approach, then consider stronger measures.
Vaccinations ('shots') can help keep your cat from getting many of the serious diseases which can make your cat sick, or may even threaten your cat's life. Your cat's individual lifestyle and situation will determine which vaccinations your cat needs to have and how often these vaccines need to be given. You will need to keep the shots up to date.
Remember that the main reason to spay is to prevent pregnancy, not to eliminate a cat's normal behavior, however, removing the ovaries also reduces the risk or mammary cancer.
Remember that advice simply can't be a substitute for proper medical attention. Only your vet can say exactly what is best for your cat. Remember to give your kitty a hug today and be thankful that they are with you!

My 2 year old indoor cat throws up food about 1 every 3 weeks? Is this normal?
Any tips about what I could do about this? She is a long hair tri-color tabby. A little bit overweight. Indoors only. Eats the same dry food; don't try different brands cause I knows cats can be picky and get upset stomaches easily.

Cat throwing up food a little after eating?
My male cat age 3 usually throws up his food once in a great while ( once a month) today he threw up twice and 2 days ago once, and im sorta worried. Its not digested food either, i feed him science diet for hairballs. He's a DMH , i brush him daily, very well.
Is it possible a vet has a prescription for hairball remendy. When i gave him that stuff from the stores ,it made him puke even more and didn't help. I've never founda hairball from him except over a year ago, nomore since though . I dont want to rush to the vet w/ my car payment unless i really really need to. thanks!

Cat throws up food...abnormal?
I have a large longhair calico and about a week ago she was missing for 3 days. The night after she came back she threw up ALOT-it was just her dry food, no furballs....
She usually pukes about once a month but it's always been MUCH less than the amount she had recently. I thought it was odd, she acts like her same old self and I figured maybe she had eaten too much too fast since she had been gone and prob didn't eat as much as she usually does. But then right now she threw up again. It's just her dry food but again, it's considerably more than what she used to, they always looked like hairballs-not her food. After she
puked she went back to her bowl and ate some more and hasn't purged it yet.
What do you think it could be?
In regards to the canned food-my had siamese that ate canned food and their teeth rotted and they lost them b/c of the decay! Dry food helps scrape it off, so I'd rather have her on dry food than have a tothless cat....LOL. Our vet had told us how bad canned food is, even though we were feeding them the expensive stuff like science diet rather than storebrand-it doesn't matter. And as u can probably figure out, the same is for dogs and giving them bones to knaw on cleans off the tarter.

cat throwing up food?
I have a cat that has been eating the same food for a year no problem. I had to go out of town for a family funeral and when I returned, the cat peed on my bed. I figured he was upset (he had never been left alone before) then he is throwing up his food. I have 3 additional cats and it is not affecting them. I am wondering if he is stressed out by being left alone and eating too fast. The food doesn't even looked chewed. What should I do?
