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!
