Vomiting in cats is a very common complaint in veterinary clinical practice and is easy to identify and find if it is a cat that does not have access to the street. However, if you’re a cat with street access, these episodes of vomiting often go unnoticed.
Types of vomiting help determine the cause or disease present and the cause of this gastrointestinal problem. There are primary causes of a major gastric or intestinal problem and secondary causes of diseases that cause toxins to build up in the blood or problems in other organs.

First, it is important to distinguish between vomiting and regurgitations.
Regurgitation is the expulsion of the contents of the esophagus (tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) that has not yet reached the stomach, usually as a result of regurgitation:
Vomiting involves expelling the contents of the stomach or duodenal (the initial part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach).
In case of green vomit from the cat or if the cat vomits yellow and does not eat, this coloration is usually due to bile fluid, bile or bile and is recurrent due to repeated fasts or vomiting. Bile is a greenish-yellow liquid produced by the liver and stored in a pocket called a gallbladder until it is needed in the duodenum to emulsify lipids (fat digestion) and capture various nutrients. If you see a cat vomiting a bright yellow liquid, it can also be bile fluid.
The cats they love are animals that like to play mainly with cables and small objects that are easy to swallow, which can often go wrong and cause gastrointestinal problems. During hygiene, they may also ingest hair that can form known hairballs and cause vomiting or other more serious symptoms. In addition, cats love to eat or chew plants or medicines that the guardian may have at home and cause vomiting.
Generally, more than three or four vomiting a month should be a cause for concern, as well as whether these vomiting is accompanied by other clinical signs such as diarrhea, weight loss or apathy. One tip for you is to predict when your cat vomits, as this will help you have a more controlled perception of the frequency of vomiting.
It is the most common cause in green or yellow bright liquid vomiting cats at all ages. Cats are accustomed to licking to perform their daily hygiene and, especially long-haired cats, ingest a certain amount of hair that can accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and cause tricobezoars (hairballs). These hairballs may be indigestible or cause partial or total blockages and cause vomiting, the contents of which may or may not be accompanied by food. In recurrent cases, only a yellow-green liquid without food content may vomit.
Ingestion of foreign objects, such as wires or small rubber objects, can cause complications if they do not progress and leave on their own.
Obstructions and, in the case of wires, the “digestive tube” are very common and can let the cat vomit blood or without appetite. It is so called because one end of the wire attaches or gets stuck in a proximal part of the intestine and the rest of the wire progresses causing the accordion effect, which must be surgically resolved as soon as possible.
Prevention: Limit the cat’s access to these objects
A cat that vomits a yellow liquid or a cat that vomits blood can also be signs of poisoning and poisoning in the cat and can cause the death of your pet.
Prevention: Never treat your pet, remove all medicines from your pet’s reach and pay special attention to toxic cat plants. In case of poisoning, you can consult our link on the home remedy for poisoned cat.
Cases of endoparasitism can cause vomiting (with or without blood) and chronic diarrhea. In addition, if the animal is heavily infested (hyperparasity), it can expel adult parasites (ascaris) through the faeces and, in more severe cases, by vomiting, that is, a cat that vomits a worm.
Prevention: It is very important to keep internal and external deworming up to date to prevent the animal from reaching this situation.
Most common in kitten puppies or cats whose diet has undergone a sudden change. Food intolerances or allergies always have gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite) and may have dermatological symptoms (itching, redness, and reactive skin).
In these cases, it is necessary to consult a veterinarian to identify the cause of this problem.
É a causa mais comum em gato idoso vomitando. Os rins são um dos primeiros órgãos a sofrer problemas devido ao avançar da idade. Muitos animais podem desenvolver insuficiência renal aguda (incapacidade repentina da função renal) devido a toxinas no sangue ou envenenamentos, mas a insuficiência renal crônica é comum e, infelizmente, é irreversível, passando muitas vezes despercebida.
As the disease progresses, the cat will develop symptoms of kidney disease:
Treatment: Although it is an irreversible disease, treatment involves liquid therapy, providing adequate diets and medications that slow kidney damage.
Liver failure and endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus and pancreatitis can also explain a cat’s vomiting and other symptoms that worry many caregivers. You should take your pet to the veterinarian if vomiting is accompanied by other symptoms and/or if vomiting is recurrent (more than two per week).
