My 15-month-old cat is vomiting frequently. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 11 lbs

My 15 month old male cat has been vomiting about once every two hours since roughly noon today (it's 3am) it's light brown with no chunks but it's creamy looking. I took away the food to see if that will help but I just did that so it's too soon to tell.

There are many causes of vomiting. The most concerning thing at this point is dehyration. Vomiting that frequently causes irritation in the esophagus and dehydration which can make Onyx feel much sicker and potentially require hospitalization. Take Onyx to a veterinarian as soon as possible to help determine the cause of the vomiting and provide treatments to help him feel better.
