My cat keeps throwing up but acts normal. Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 8 lbs

My siamese cat has been vomiting every once in awhile (3 times) for the past three weeks. Other than that, he has been doing well: exercising, eating, and pooping. Should I check up on him? Or could it be due to him eating something funny off the ground?

Yes, I would have Houdini seen by a vet but it's not an emergency. It's not normal he's been vomiting in the past couple of weeks, and while it could be due to something he ate off the ground, I can't say for certain without seeing him. Certainly there are a number of illnesses that cause vomiting, such as kidney disease and diabetes, and in the beginning stages the cat eats normally or has an increase in appetite. I'd give the vet a call in the morning to make an appointment to have him seen. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

    Poor kitty! He sounds very ill, and given his behavior, I would have him seen by a vet right away. He could have gotten into something toxic, could have a foreign body, pancreatitis, or have a severe GI illness. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for it. Please take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him ASAP.
