Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male

There are no vets in my city who check cats properly, they only have treatments for goats, cows and other dairy animals, my cat vomited i guess twice today, first time, he was sleeping, then suddenly woke up and started meowing loadly and then acted like its gonna vomit, i gently took him and placed him somewhere else and he vomited a white substance there, i feel like he ate a moth ball but i'm really not sure, cause i think cats know when something is edible for them by smelling it. Pls help

I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps Luminous. I recommend withholding food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
