Why is my cat vomiting digested food after eating? Can olive oil help?

Question

My cat has puked after the last 4-5 meals about 2-3 hours after eating. There's no hair, but its mostly just the partly digested food. Someone told me she has a stomach block and that olive oil might help, no Vets can help due to the pandemic and most stores are closed. Will Olive oil help?

Olive oil is safe to give to cats, so a small amount may help, however if there is a severe intestinal obstruction it likely won't clear it. If the oil doesn't help, or the vomiting continues, veterinary care is unfortunately needed, and many emergency clinics are still open for services. Other things to try can include feeding smaller meals more often so that Mama isn't eating a huge amount in one meal, which may help her better keep down what she is eating.
