Hi, my cat has been vomiting after meals for about three days and occasionally sneezes. He acts normally otherwise. Should I be concerned?

Yes, I would be concerned because it isn't normal that Sylvester is vomiting after meals, and that tells me that something is wrong with him. He could have a foreign body, GI illness, or may have eaten something rotten. I would take him into a vet today. Best of luck.

    No, it's not normal for cats to throw up. It's serious that Sylvester only eats when starving, and he could develop a fatty liver from this behavior. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment. You should tell your mother that you spoke to a vet who said he needs a different food since he won't eat this food, and he needs to see a vet for the vomiting.
