Why is my cat throwing up food and yellow vomit? Is it overeating?

Question

My cat is 4 years old. Her name is Evangeline. I have two cats the other is Faye. Faye recently got fixed and started eating mire picking up weight. Now, Evangeline started vomiting and it looks like all food from both bowls and a little yellow. Is it possible she keeps throwing up from overeating? Or something else? She is acting completely normal otherwise. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 15 lbs

Hello. It is possible that Evangeline is overeating, but cats seem to be particularly prone to some food sensitivities. I have found that many of these cats doing quite a bit better when all fish is removed from the diet. There are both dry & wet/canned diets that are poultry based & are available at all pet retailers. Another option is to switch to a diet labeled sensitive skin/stomach. I would slowly transition both cats off of the fish based diets & see if over a couple of weeks things improve. If not, you will need to see your veterinarian & possibly try to rule out other causes of the vomiting including inflammatory bowel syndrome. Hope Evangeline is doing better soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
