cat urine smell/vomiting

[Jessika]

Uremia in the case of kidney disease can sometimes present itself as a strong "urine" smell coming from the cat's breath. A lot of owners confuse this as being the cat's rear end or poor grooming habits. It concerns me that you're noticing this.

The vomiting can be attributed to the diet change, but vomiting can also be seen with kidney disease.

I strongly urge you to bring your kitty to the vet to be checked out. At 10 years old, kidney disease can be high on the list.

Cats are notorious for having sensitive tummies, and a change in food that wasn't gradual could cause the vomiting. I would definitely take him to the vet, though, due to the urine odor. Kidney disease, uti and lower urinary tract disease could all be possible causes and need to be treated. A thorough exam can put your mind at ease about the vomiting, too.
