Why is my cat vomiting constantly, not eating, and acting strange?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

My cat has been puking constantly. Like more than 10 x a day. She has been using the bathroom outside of the litter box. It seems like pretty normal BM. She is not eating very much and pukes it up when she does. She seems irritable at times and is really lovey at other times. Help?

Ruby is very ill and has to see a vet immediately. It's not normal at all for a cat to vomit that much consistently, and it's serious that she vomits when she eats. There could be a number of things causing it such as a pyometra, a foreign body, kidney or liver disease, or even cancer. This is not something that can be treated at home or can wait until the morning. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
