Why is my cat vomiting frequently but still eating and playful?

Question

My cat Oliver has been frequently vomiting in the last couple days (I found 2 yesterday and 1 today so far). His feed hasn't changed, his portion hasn't changed, and he's still being playful, but maybe a bit more reserved. He is still eating all his food and he also has very warm ears. What can I do to help my kitty? He is about 2 years old. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 5 lbs

I would recommend that you have Oliver checked out by a vet. Cats can develop food allergies even when eating the same food. Other possible causes of vomiting include hairballs, GI blockage, intestinal parasites, IBD, intestinal lymphoma, hyperthyroidism, systemic disease (liver, kidney, pancreas, diabetes), among others. Unfortunately, the temperature of the ears doesn't tell us anything about the core temperature - if you are concerned he has a fever, you can use a rectal thermometer to check, a fever would be over 103.5 F.
