Hi,

my cat Nena vomits about every day or every other day, not all meals but regularly enough, literally almost everyday. She is 5 years old and appears to be fine and healthy, and since she eats, a LOT, it's been impossible to see was causes it, she pretty much vomits at random. Her diet has been about the same for a long time so again it's hard to figure out what's wrong with her. Unfortunately, I don't take care of her, my sister now does, but no one in my family is willing to take her to the vet in fear of ridiculous vet fees but I was wondering if anything has witness a similar problem with their own cat. It's quite obvious she needs to visit the vet but again, if anyone knows please forward any information along, thanks.

Unfortunately one of the responsibilities of owning a pet is seeking Vet care - whatever the cost - when the animal is ill. It sounds like the animal is sick and, minimally, should be examined. It could be anything from feline leukemia to food allergy.

As you say, it's quite obvious that she needs to visit the Vet and it is unfair to her to allow her to suffer now that the need for medical care is obvious to you.

Being a cat person myself, this has happened to me before. The cat needs more attentin and a change of diet. If he/she is currently eating meat, give him/her veggies. If he/she is eating veggies, give meat. Good luck
