Why is my cat vomiting immediately after eating for several days?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years old | 18 lbs

Cat has been vomiting for 2+ days immediately after eating. No change in diet. No other symptoms. No changes in behavior, breathing, etc. No apparent pain, bloating, etc. Took away food for 12+ hours. Gave food back and vomited immediately. Any suggestions? Advice? Thank you.

Poor kitty. This sounds very likely they Pickle may have a foreign body obstruction or partial obstruction. Other possibilities are kidney disease, liver disease and an infection. Cats often won't act ill until things are really far gone, so don't expect to see that. The vomiting of food right after eating warrants getting Pickle in to your local vet right away for an exam and diagnostic tests to determine the cause. Once we know what is causing this, then we will know what treatment he needs to fix it.
