When you're not looking?
How often is that? Is there food in the vomit? Just liquid? Hair? Cats should not throw up often. Sometimes maybe, but not all the time. If there is food in the vomit then gradually switching the food to a more digestable type is the way to go (which it seems you're doing). If that doesn't work, take your cat to the vet. If it's hair, and you said this cat is long-haired, look into a hairball remedy. If it's just liquid, take your cat to the vet.
Re: your little cat. How long has she been having accidents around the house? The longer it has gone on the more difficult it will be to undo, no matter what's causing it. Does she do it in one or two particular spots? Put a litterbox there or somehow change that area so she can't go there. Also, take her to the vet for a urinalysis to make sure there isn't a medical cause --- but be sure to take her right when she's having the problem, not when she's been doing fine. If a sample is taken while she isn't having any problem, of course the values will come out normal. Hopefully your vet isn't one to just brush it off as behavioral instead of taking PROPER steps to make sure it isn't physical first. Either way, it's not going to stop on its own.
Good luck!
:When I am not looking, my simaesse mix (long haired) throws up, usually on the bed. But today I found two different spots on the floor, yesturday on the bed spread. I have been feeding them Authority Cat Food (Petsmart Quality Brand), but I recently have decided to switch My cats over to Nutro. Mixing the two foods for a couple days now. Two of my cats are fine. Just the little one who isn't taking to it. is there a chance this could go away? She also has a tendency to pop and pee around the house, which isn't good as we rent, any tips? We clean the boxes(2) daily. Any Help Would be great. She has me worried.
