My cat was outside, he's making noises and throwing up saliva. Why?

Question

I've been out for the day with my cat outside, I get home and he made a high pitched noise. In the lounge room he made a high pitched noise and threw up some saliva, and he's done it several times since. I don't know what is up, he seems ok I'm just worried about what is wrong with him!

Poor Storm! It sounds like he may be suffering from a upset stomach, which can be caused by GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would recommend trying a home remedy first before having to take him into the vet. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
