1. ..{x}..your cat is going through a faise but the problem is we dont now when the faise is gonna stop you need to take her to the doctors and get her checked out :ok:...... xxxxxxxxxxxxbeckixxxxxxxxxxxx
2. she may have ingested some form of poison...like rat poison or drank some antifreeze or something get her to vet . if its just that she doesnt like her food she'd eat to stay alive try cooking and cooling some white rice and possibly some ground chuck hamburger--squeeze out the grease as much as possible.
3. This time of the year it could be a hairball. Cats shed their winter coats and when they lick themselves they ingest the loose hair. You might want to check with a vet to be sure its not something more serious if you have treated for hairballs and it's not helping. You can get hairball remedy at any pet store or pet department.
4. Maybe she is eating too fast and is regurgitating her un chewed food up to actually eat, gross i know. i know that dogs do it so im guessing cats would be the same.
5. Try changing her diet. I would phone your vet first and get some advice on this or she will quickly get run down in health. Have you wormed her recently. Worms could cause problems like vomitting. You can now get this easy to administer dual wormer that you use like a regular spon-on de-flea treatment. It is called Profender and you can buy thid from your vet or online perhaps. It might be that your cat needs a special diet because of her individual needs but only your vet would be able to assess her and make a judgement in that respect. Always make sure you put a bowl of fresh water down for your cat daily. This is especially important if their diet is mainly of the dried variety of food. I have read that the overeating of dry food can cause vomiting because dry food absorbs water and swells, this in turn causes your cat to vomit. [source: http://www.kittencare.com/askKC_Vomiting.html] I think it would be a good idea if you could get your cat to eat small amounts of wet food. You could offer small amounts of chopped up chicken or turkey, canned tuna in brine or try her on the cat food in pouches as most cats find them more delicious over regular canned food.

6. You need to take your cat to see a Vet. There are alot of reasons for your cat being this way. Does she drink a lot of water? If not she should be. Maybe she got some of that poison wheat gluten that is going around. Has she ever eaten anything besides cat biscuits? It could be she doesn't like the food you have given her, try Fancy Feast, my cats were picky eaters too, but now they are eating more in one day than they use to eat for 3 or 4 days. It is also one of the few brands that isn't made by Menu Foods. I had just bought a two weeks supply of one of the brands of food that was on the recall list, an expensive brand, I also bought a few cans of Fancy Feast at the pet store because it was on sale. I was very happy to see how much they loved it since it wasn't on the recall lists of foods. Take your cat to the vet right away, that is the only way you will find out what Is wrong with him.
