The cat, in general, is a furry that takes its time to eat: it is not in too much hurry to finish, but sometimes it may be the case that, just after finishing, or a few minutes after finishing, is nauseous and vomits. Why is this happening?
Seeing your friend expel the food that he did nothing to eat immediately worries you, because of course, his health could be at risk, and the last thing we want is for something to happen to him. But, Why does my cat vomit after eating? What is happening to him?
Has ingested hairs
No matter how clean we keep the feeder and the house, sometimes, especially during the molting season, the occasional hair falls on the food. It may be very small, barely visible, but just the fact that there are some is enough for the cat to vomit right after eating.
What to do? Brush the cat daily to keep your dead hair from falling where it shouldn't, keep cleaning the feeder regularly (the ideal would be to do it every day too), and go also taking a look from time to time to make sure there is only what needs to be in the container: food.
Is trying to expel hairballs
If you have ingested a lot of hair, so many that balls have formed in his stomach, one of the symptoms that we will see is that the cat will vomit after eating, as an attempt to expel them.
To do? The most recommended is put a little malt on his paw once a day so that he licks himself, but if in addition to vomiting he has constipation and loss of appetite, it is advisable to take him to the vet.
Eat too fast
When a cat is gluttonous or has to "fight" for food, either because there is an animal (it has four legs or two legs) that is harassing it or because it eats with other furry ones which make it feel intimidated, you can eat too fast.
To do? In these cases it is convenient find out the causeIf you feel harassed or intimidated, you have to work with the affected cat and the stalker so that both can lead a normal life. For example, we can feed them in separate rooms and use Feliway to reduce stress in cats. If it is a person who does not leave the feline alone, we have to talk to him, regardless of how old he is, and teach him to respect the furry one.
If what happens is that you are a glutton and have always eaten fast, we can help you eat more slowly by doing the following:

- Soak the dry feed with water.
- Give him high-quality wet food.
- Feed it with dry feed whose croquettes are large.
- Buy him a feeder for wolverines, like the one seen in the image above.
I hope this article has helped you 🙂.
This article is terrible, without sources of information because it is not a veterinarian who wrote it, with poor and scarce information.
Hi Danielle.
All the articles you will find on the blog are merely informative. When in doubt, it is always best to consult a veterinarian.
