My cat is throwing up food and liquid multiple times. What can I give?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat is a domestic longhair and maincoon mixed about 3.5 yrs old male. He threw up few times today. 1st it was just food and then it was kind of liquid. He only threw up once before 4-5 weeks ago. Is there anything over the counter I can give him? TIA

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 8 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.
