My cat throws up food & gags frequently. Is it serious or overeating?

Question

I have a 2 year old cat and she has been throwing up her food and has been making sounds like she is going to throw up but nothing come out. I noticed she been doing this since she got spayed last march. I wasn't too worried at the beginning because it would be every once in a while but just these past few months it has become more frequent. She does constantly eat i so i figure shes just over eating. Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | spayed

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting is sometimes seen with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease, among many other conditions. Given Mew's young age and the fact that she is otherwise doing fine, dietary indiscretion appears more likely. It may be something as easy as just changing her diet to something that she can tolerate better. However, an examination by a veterinarian as well as minimal diagnostic data would be needed to rule out more concerning things. You can start by changing her diet to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement, have her examined by a veterinarian to start therapy if needed based on findings. Good luck!
