My cat threw up dry food two days in a row. What should I do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 4 years and 2 months old | 14.5 lbs

My cat threw up yesterday and she threw up again today. There was a lot more pieces of her dry food in the vomit today. What could be going on and what should I do? We haven't changed her food up or anything and she's been on the same dry food for about a month now and the same wet food for about 3 months with no problems up to this point. She's showing no other symptoms and is doing fine otherwise.

It sounds as Snow is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
