Why does my playful kitten vomit in the morning before eating?

Question

Hi, my kitten of 4 months old vomitted for the second time this morning. He’s fine straight after and doesn’t vomit at night after dinner; just in the mornings before food. Then he heads straight for the food bowl for breakfast. We’re just wondering if we should be worried, or if this is regular? He’s still very playful all the time.

Sometimes cats will vomit first thing in the morning as their stomachs are empty and the acid and bile can irritate the gut lining and cause them to be sick. Usually this does no harm but if occurring frequently gastroprotectants can help. If it is occurring more mornings than not or the cat seems ill otherwise, I would have him checked out by a vet. Every so often would not concern me in a healthy kitten.
