Why is my 10-week-old kitten vomiting clear liquid? Is it milk?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 14 days old

Our cat is vomiting a clear viscous liquid, and we are unable to comprehend his condition. We believe it might be that he still breast feeds from his mother. Please help us.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At 10 weeks of age Sir Fluffy Bottoms should be 100% weaned. As cats and dogs mature they can become intolerant to milk. He should be eating kitten food. Other causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, dietary issues, toxin exposure, ate something that is disagreeing with him, or a foreign body. At 2.5 months he should have been dewormed and started his vaccinations. If he continues to vomit he needs to see Vet. Little babies can get dehydrated and have low blood sugar when they vomit and don't eat well. I hope this helps and I wish Sir Fluffy Bottoms a speedy recovery!
