Why does my cat eat so fast, vomit, and yell when boarding?

Question

A cat that is boarding at my job is a fiend for food. He gets 1/2 can, 4x a day, smushed because he inhales it so fast that he throws up. While getting the food ready, he paces and yells. I think it's something neurological but I've never seen an animal act like that. Any ideas? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male

Some cats are just very into food and enjoy eating it. If Jambo is eating so fast he vomits, you may want to break up his meals into smaller amounts so he can't eat enough at once to get sick. If he's being boarded, he may also be feeling a bit stressed out which could be causing the strange behavior and vocalizations. I would bring it up with his owner when they return that he has been a bit nervous, and any other signs you noticed. The owners can bring Jambo to a vet for a full checkup if there is anything out of the ordinary for him.
