My cat keeps spitting up every night. What's causing his frequent vomiting?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 10 months old | 11 lbs

He spits up every night several times, I've adjusted his food and treat intake but, no change. He won't eat anything but pate foods and a little dry food.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can occur secondary to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, parasites, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Buddy evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. At the very least they can start him on medications to make him feel better and check his hydration status. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!
