    My cat won't stop throwing up.
    I have a 3 year old black and white cat. Everyday or every other day, I wake up and find another pile of puke. It's usually the color of her food, sometimes it has chunks, most of the time not so much. She never goes outside, and we don't have any plants around the house that she could get into. She doesn't eat people food or get into the trash, and all of our cleaning products aren't where she can get to them. What can I do. It's getting annoying to clean this up everyday. When I took her in for her shots, I told the DR. about this, and she just told me it was her food... the problem being with this, is that I've tried other brands and still the same thing. What do I do?

    Is she on a set feeding schedule or amount? My cat has a tendency to overeat to the point of making himself sick. I cut him back to certain times of day and smaller portions twice a day instead of all at once and he's doing much better. If you're feeding just dry food you may want to try giving wet food once in a while too. Good luck.

    You could try mixing a little wet food in with the dry food, or it could just simply be hair balls...

    Hairballs was my first thought, too. If it's still an issue, you could try giving her hairball medicine, or even just a teaspoon of butter a day. Either one will help pass any hairballs, and neither will hurt her if the problem is something else.
