My cat keeps throwing up food. Is it due to our recent move?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 11 months and 1 day old | 12 lbs

My cat vomited his food last week, and today he did too, but it was a little more liquidy. He's been feeling fine and always happy, but last month he moved from Houston to California, where we are now, and he's been eating the same portions, but why would he be puking?

The possible causes of for vomiting are numerous. The fact that you recently moved (be in a month ago at this point) could play a role potentially as stress is a definite cause of GI upset in cats. Other causes can be dietary, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, kidney / liver disease, allergies, foreign objects, and even cancer in some rarer cases in a young cat. Since there have only been episodes of vomiting total at this point, I wouldn't be particularly concerned as of yet. If you see this happening another couple of times over the next week, I think it is something worth investigating more. Hope this helps!
