Oscar looks so comfortable! My question is does Oscar eat too fast? If so I would recommend trying this: https://www.amazon.com/Catit-Senses-2-0-Food-Tree/dp/B00D3NI31Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1519878577&sr=8-7&keywords=cat+maze With this you would put food in the top part and he has to work the food down to be able to eat it. If you feel he is not eating too fast, he may have a hairball and you can try laxatone or cat lax. This you can get at your local pet store. Otherwise, you can always try introducing wet food and see if that helps decrease the vomiting. If any of these suggestions don't work then I recommend talking to your veterinarian to make sure that nothing else is going on with Oscar. Thank you for using PetCoach.
