Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 12 lbs

My cat has been spitting up yellow greenish liquid watery stuff for 6 days now. If he’s eating and drinking then I don’t see it.

It sounds as Tiger 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 him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

    Hi and thank you for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

    Vomiting a dark green fluid can be a sign of a gall bladder disorder (mucocele or stones) pancreatitis, liver disease or an intestinal obstruction which are all concerning health conditions. He should have blood work done and an ultrasound done to help determine the cause.

    Best of luck to you and Bubba.
