No cat likes to throw up, and no owner likes it when the cat throws up. Vomiting in cats can be caused by medications, viruses and ingestion of garbage or toys. The cat may be lethargic, ill-tempered or unwilling to eat. It is always a good idea to see your veterinarian if your cat is vomiting. If he vomits continuously and can't keep down water, see your vet immediately. If the vomiting is less serious, here are a few tips to help relieve your cat's stomach trouble at home.
Fasting
A 24-hour fast will help alleviate stomach upset in your cat. It gives the stomach a full day of rest and will reduce inflammation. Be sure to provide your cat with controlled amounts of fresh water, and make sure she is drinking. After the initial 24 hours, you may offer her bland foods such as cooked white rice (give the same amount of rice as you normally give cat food). After 48 hours, you may mix the cooked rice with the cat's normal food. After 72 hours, if her condition has improved, you may return your cat to her normal diet. If her condition has not improved, stick with the bland diet and see your veterinarian.
