My cat seems to be a poorly bunny ( Confused

) today. He's just been sick about 4 times. He keeps eating grass as well which I don't think is helping on the chunder front! Thinking it's probably just hair balls.

He seems fine apart from this, not sulking or anything! He just confuses the hell out of me!

My dog I had 15 years ago used to eat grass to make himself puke when he ate something he shouldn't have.

That said the cat across the road keeps eating grass too and leaves cat puke everywhere.

One for Stink I reckon ,

Grass helps dogs and cats digestive system on its way. Ours often eat it, but they don't often throw up.

If your cat shows no signs of improving tomorrow, get him down to the vet. It could just be something he ate, r it could be something worse. Sad

Eating grass in cats is often followed by throwing up. This would appear to be why they do it. In moderation it is perfectly normal behaviour.

If the cat apears unwell, off its food, develops diarrhoea as well or persists with this puking, take it to the vets. If it just does it occasionally and appears otherwise well, I wouldn't worry.

You mentioned hairballs, these are a possability. As are worms.

I would give it stuff called Katalax for hairballs (essentially liquid parraffin in a paste form that is supposed to taste nice to cats) which you can get from your vet or many petshops. If it hasn't been wormed recently, this might also be worth doing.

He's cool now. I think it may have been a dodgy can of food.

I went to put some out for him to see if he'd eat and it just smelt wrong. (Not that normal cat food has a great aroma anyway!)

Moved him to a different type of food and the fat git ate an entire can then tucked into dry food as well!

My god he's a lard arse!
