Why is my cat throwing up white or brown liquid daily? Is it serious?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years and 5 months old | 0 lbs

Hi there. Recently my cat Sophia has been throwing up. When she first started throwing up it was a white liquid that kind of looked like mucus. And she was throwing up probably every few days. Now she is throwing up everyday and she is throwing up an orangish brown liquid and she throws up about every day. I’m not sure if it’s her food I’ve been feeding her the same thing her entire life. If you could help me figure out what’s wrong it would be greatly appreciated !

This is very serious, and it could be caused by a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or even cancer. You need to have Sophia seen by a vet today for this problem.
