My indoor cat keeps throwing up food often. Should I see a vet?

Question

My cat Gizmo keeps being sick at the moment. It’s not all day every day but it’s happenes several times within the last 2 weeks. He’s not normally like this. He’s an indoor cat (if that makes a difference?) Anyway, he has a thing for licking plastic, ie, carrier bag handles but I tell him off as soon as he touches anything plastic and remove the item. Should I be as worried as I am? Also most of the time it’s food that he’s bringing up but it’s a few hours after eating. Please help. Thank you

Hi. If your cat is vomiting that often or for that long, it is concerning. There are a lot of possibilities for vomiting unfortunately. It can range from stress, diet, IBD, eating something they shouldn't have, and many more. An exam, labs, and x-rays will be needed to help guide us in the right direction. I would recommend getting him seen by your veterinarian in the am.
