Have a question: I have a female cat who is 1 1/2 yrs old. For the past few months she has developed a habit of regurgitating her food within 5 mins of eating. It does not happen all the time, maybe 4 or 5 times a month. I have taken her to the vet, gotten x rays and labwork, everything is normal. I was basically told that this is normal for cats. Is that true?? I have another cat who is 3 (female also) and this never happens to her...
yes i have had that happen to cats in the past. my cat now doesnt do it but my cat as a kid did it all the time. it seemed to get worse the older she got
One of my cats did that. Is the food partially digested (chunky) or is it clear? If it's partially digested, I read online that sometimes if a bowl is too deep and/or a cat eats too quickly or too much it can be indigestion so they throw it up. If it's clearish, it's probably a hairball.
ugh I have a male cat that does this almost every other day or so... Its the running joke that we have the fattest bulimic cat ever(He is bigger then my dog!) We were also told that as nasty as it is...its pretty common. i heard you could try and feed them smaller amounts of food at a time so they eat slower.
its definitely food, looks like it wasnt even chewed, whole pieces. I just feel bad for her, but she is a true scaredy cat! I hope she grows out of it!
I have tried everything to help her, smaller portions, a 1/4 of a pepcid at night, switched her to Halo food, nothing seems to help...just so upsetting
Yeah that just happened to my cat yesterday! I think she just ate too fast and too much!
I would try giving it to her in a more shallow bowl and keep trying with the smaller portions. If it doesn't work, then it may just be how she is. Just make sure you take care of her teeth too!

Try feeding the cat in smaller amounts ... Helped with my cat
yes my cat does this sometimes i think she eats too much to quickly
My cat was a big time gagger. When he was healthy he did it a few times a month, but at the end when he got sick he was doing it all the time, and then just stopped eating. He was 10 though, and was chubby his entire life, so we think that led to it. It's good that she's young though and her tests came back normal, so I wouldn't get too worried. If she was older, then maybe a different story.
