My cat had a horrible vomiting problem similar to what you are describing. I tried steroids and antibiotics with minimal effect. I came across an internet article about so called "inflammatory bowel disease" and the writer had compiled research which pointed to grain allergies. I found a cat food (Wellness brand; wet food only and only the cans with the yellow Grain Free flag) and tried it and it WORKED. Amazing results. I used to clean up giant puddles of vomit daily; now it happens rarely. It's worth a try. I knew it was the food and not some other factor because I unknowingly bought a few cans of their wet food which had grain (rice) in it; he'd go a week without vomiting but the days I fed him that food, he threw up again. Hope this helps.

Don't harm Tinky Please by: Anonymous
Hi,
I too have a cat that vomits all the time and in addition I'm severely allergic to him.
If you are unable to tolerate her behavior please find her a new home rather than put her down or worse put her out on the street.
I hope you find a solution that works for both you and Tinky.
Best wishes.

First, get a bissel little steam cleaner-about $50-$60, a life saver! I have a cat doing the same thing. My vet said it was probably Irritable Bowel Syndrome/Distress. We have been to the vet two times, at a cost of $120 a visit, and she is still not better. They have done blood work to make sure nothing more serious was wrong. They cannot cure IBS! They can only controll its symptoms. I myself, am sick of her vomiting, it can't be fun for her. Even worse is the fact were paying $18 for a 4lb. bag of food that lasts us less than two weeks. I wish you and your cat the very best. Good Luck.
