Puking?

[Tonya]

Both cats have been puking lately. They never did that before (aside from when Ron's gotten out and eaten grass). They seem like they feel fine. At first I was a little concerned because of how Raven was missing. I thought maybe she'd eaten something. But now, I notice that Ron's puking too. I haven't changed their food or anything. The puke looks like poop (sorry). I suppose it could be because they are sheddding so they have fur in their stomach. But if that is the case, you'd think it would be happening all summer.

I'm soooo tired of going to the vet all the time.

What do you think could be causing it? Anything I can do to help it?

Sounds like hairballs and nothing to be concerned over. Watch them, and if it continues, then have them checked!

Sounds like hairballs for sure. As far as Raven goes she has probably been cleaning herself a lot since her adventure.

It could be hairballs,or if they are Siamese,they could be bolting thier Food as The Siamese Squad ,does at Tbe hotel.

Pouncer has been having REALLY bad hairballs this summer! I never knew a cat could puke such biiig hairballs sooo often!

Yea, its probably just hairballs. Blueberry gets them sometimes too....especially now in the summer.

Well, I am glad to hear that it is normal. Thanks for your responses. I don't like it though! I have never had this problem before.

I remember my old roomate's cat always puked and it always chose my pillow to puke on. I remember saying that I've never disliked a cat so much and I don't know how she could live with that. Now, here I am...being paid back for being so mean about it!

I think I remember reading about something that helps with it. I'm going to look into it and start brushing them more.
