My cat is throwing up food and clear liquid for days. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 11 months old | 8 lbs

Cat is throwing up few times a day for 3 days already. It's usually the food she ate. Usually happens within an hour after feeding. However, we've tried not feeding her for 14 hours (while leaving access to water) which made her vomit less often but she still did that (clear liquid, no smell). She seems to be fine otherwise, maybe just a very tiny little bit less energetic. Nothing has changed in her diet - same brand dry food and same brand wet food as always. Any advice please?

Poor Taira! I would strongly recommend to have her seen by your vet. A cat vomiting could indicate several different things from a toxin, a foreign body, a GI obstruction, parasites and much more. Your vet will be able to do a fecal, blood work and even x-rays if needed to determine the cause and the best treatment options. Unfortunately, there aren't any good home remedies for a case like this. Plus, I worry she may be dehydrated since this has been going on for 3 days. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better really soon.
