Why is my cat throwing up food 4-5 times a day? What should I do?

Question

My cat has been puking up to 4-5 times a day. We have her on grain free food. She is indoor only. She has no access to chemicals. She poops regular. She has access to her food all day. Puke doesn’t look out of the regular. Just looks like chewed up food. What do I do to help her not puke. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 months and 4 days old | 6 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Possible reasons for vomiting episodes include pancreatitis, kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, gastroenteritis, among others. However, in a kitten who is otherwise doing well, oftentimes it is dietary indiscretion. In this case, sometimes a diet change to a sensitive stomach diet could improve this. You can get any good quality sensitive stomach food at your local pet store and see if that helps. Having grain or not is really not the important factor here. It is more just a sensitivity to the protein or carbohydrate in the current diet. If no improvement is observed, have her evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure that there is nothing else going on such as the conditions mentioned above. Good luck and have a great night!
