So my cat vomits when he eats occassionally. Does anyone elses cat do this?

Then he eats the vomit but doesnt throw that up! Sometimes there is fur in it, and other times its just food. I have tried putting him on harball food and meds but he still does it. Any ideas?
Answers:
yes this is normal they vomit usually cause they r being a glutin lol that is usually when they over eat.If it only occasionally don't b worried.
Mine does.soemtimes I feed him grass as it helps his digestion a little.
i wish i new my cat does the same =( sorry i was no help good luck
my piano teacher's cats do that all the time. She says it's cuz they ate too fast too much.
All i know is, it's kinda gross if you step in it.YUCK!
Go see a vet. It might be serious.
That's what cat's do.

Eat.
Sleep.
Vomit.
Bite you.
it tastes better the second time maybe?
my cat does the same
I wish I had a good answer for you -- mine does that same thing -- I just recently upgraded from regular catfood to the more expensive iams kind -- so maybe that'll help.
better go see a vet!
Give him canned food and make sure it is almost a liquid with no chunks in it. Every once in a while give him 1 teaspoon of veggie oil or cod liver oil. No need to see a Vet at all.
My cat does this but she doesn't eat it. I think it's because of the hair balls. It's normal for cats to cough up hairballs. Eating grass might help or brushing her a lot to reduce the amount of hair she gets.
First things first, get him on a diet. Do not leave out food all day fo him to eat whenever. This just leads to animals making pigs of themselves and can lead to health problems
Next ask yourself has he been getting table scraps? Or have you changed his food recentally? That may be the cause, you should ease him onto to a new type of food, cats have sensitive digestive systems.
Also do not allow him to eat the vomit, it should be obvious that that is NOT healthy.
If it continues call your local ve atd ask his/her advice. They are the experts there may be a simple explination.
Your cat is eating too much. It also all depends on the kind of food your feeding it to. Are you giving it milk also? If so then stop. You may want to change the brand of food your using (Stay away from store brands like Iam's, Purina etc). Go to an actual pet food store and get a bag of proper cat food, preferably dry food.

Do not give your cat table scraps, and try to stay away from the "treats". You can try "kittymalt" also. It's like a mollases you can give your cat occassionally to help with its digestion.

When was the last time your cat was de-wormed? Does it have fleas? You should get him checked out by a vet if the problem persists.
More than likely, your cat is suffering from Hair balls. These will clog up its digestive tract and make it hard for him to ingest his food. There is a new cat food made especially for cats who have this problem. I'm not sure of the name, unfortunatly. If you can't find it at your local market, you could try phoning a local Vet.
Gypsy (Gitana) is telling you true. One more suggestion - Science Diet has a cat food specially formulated for sensitive stomaches. Put my cat on it and it cut her deposits by half at least. Good luck.
My daughters male cat did this all the time. She was told by a vet to put him on organic food. He has been on it for a year and almost never throws up. It might help, try it. Organic food is a little more expensive, but a new carpet is much more expensive. It's worth checking out. Good luck.
IT IS NORMAL FOR THEM TO THROW UP.
JUST HAIRBALLS.
