I would recommend that you have your cat evaluated by a vet. Abnormal chest and abdomen movements can indicate trouble breathing or extreme stress, and chronic vomiting can have many physical and medical causes. The vet will do an exam and may recommend blood work or x-rays to determine what is going on.

Hello, sorry to hear about your cats. It sounds like they all may have gotten into something they weren't supposed to (dietary indiscretion). However, any other changes in the environment (new litter, new cleaning supplies, new pets, furniture, or other humans) which can cause cats to disagree with and vomit. Make sure there is nothing around the house that they could have ingested (toys, medications, drugs, plants, etc.) or think back to see if anything has changed in their environments as that could be the cause of their vomiting. As long as they do not continue to vomit and are otherwise, eating, drinking, and acting normally then they should be ok and don't need to see their veterinarian. However, if you are suspicious they may have ingested something they shouldn't have, then please have them evaluated by their veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.

If your cat is vomiting every day, you should indeed be worried. chronic vomiting can be caused by various conditions, the most common would be IBD, pancreatitis, lymphoma and a foreign body in the intestines. i advise you to take Murphy to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked.

I would take Wednesday in for an exam with your vet just to be on the safe side. Cats do vomit on occasion, however if she did not have a hairball in the vomit, I would be concerned that there is an underlying cause making her stomach upset and she may need further treatment or medication. Cats are very good at hiding disease, so any deviation from her normal would be a reason to get her checked out.
