My cat puked, now making vibrating throat noises. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered

My cat just puked and after he puked he is making strange throat noises that sound like vibrations. His puke was a soft solid (I can see the shape of his dry kibbles) with some white bile. He keeps on also trying to swallow and licking his lips. Should we be concerned? Thank you in advance for your help.

Poor Meu. It could be he is feeling nauseous after vomiting. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 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.
