Overview
Cats vomit for all kinds of reasons. Some causes, like hairballs or eating too fast, are usually nothing to worry about, but your cat being sick may also be caused by more serious conditions, like kidney disease or even cancer. It’s not always easy to tell if it’s a one-off or a sign of something more. This guide explains what different types of vomit can mean, how to tell when it’s time to worry, and what you can do — at home and with your vet — to help your cat recover.
