Why is my cat constantly vomiting and refusing to eat her food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 6 lbs

Hi I have a cat (she's 5) and she constantly vomits.She stays with my family in Romania but I live in UK. She eats Nutraline Sensitive and Kitkat pouches and I recently bought Applaws because I saw the ingrediends and there is no way of comparison between Applaws and those brands. I bought that thinking she won't vomit anymore but she won't eat at all Applaws. I want to bring her here with me, but I don't know what I'll do if she won't eat... Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

I suspect Misu may have a medical condition that is making her not want to eat and causing her to vomit. I suspect that she won't eat until the underlying cause of vomiting and poor appetite are addressed. Ask your family to take her to a veterinarian. A number of causes for her symptoms are possible, including chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, and liver disease. A physical exam should be performed by a veterinarian, as well as lab work (blood and urine tests) and possibly an Xray or an abdominal ultrasound (sonogram of the belly) may be recommended. Treatment will depend on what is found to be the problem. Once the underlying cause is addressed, hopefully the vomiting subsides and her appetite improves. I hope that helps you!
