Cats being sick


I thought that they could have a furball as they all groom each other. It started on sun/mon with lucky beign sick and later kado was sick on the chair, followed a few hours later by Simon beign sick on the settee as well. I am kicking myself for thinking it was just furballs and totaly dismissed it. Today Chester was sick in the bedroom and Lucky and Guinness where sick within minutes of each other in the living room this afternoon. Lucky never goes out of the garden so he cant have picked out up like a mouse. I have taken there food up this morning just to see if it settles there tummys if it persits i will take them to the vets but will be only able to take 3 at the most(cat carriers). I kneed to get this sorted out before the car goes back sometime this wk. Any ideas what it could be or anything that i could give them.

Re: Cats being sick


Poor things.
I suppose if it was all the human members of a family you would put it down to a 'bug', limit their intake to just water/lucozade etc and wait for it to pass.
I'm not a vet and I don't know if that's the right thing for cats. Removing their food and ensuring they have access to clean, fresh, water sounds right.
I hope there'll be no more vomiting and that they will all be fine.

Re: Cats being sick


That is a worry Jane. I'm really not sure what I'd do - sounds as if it's got to be a bug of some sort as most of your cats have it. I think I'd phone the vet and ask if there is anything that they know is "doing the rounds" and what they're advising if so. As DM says, withdrawing food but making sure they have fresh water is good. Have you noticed any difference with their litter habits?

If my cats had been vomiting since Sunday / Monday I would get them to the vets asap.

Re: Cats being sick


I'm inclined to agree with Smudgley on that one.

Re: Cats being sick


I agree too. Even if one has not been out there is a chance they could have picked something up from the others being sick.
