2.Gastroenteritis disease: If a cat vomits frequently, retching is usually followed by vomiting of yellow or white liquid. The frequency may be 2-3 times a day, and even vomiting will last 3-4 times. It could be that the cat is suffering from gastroenteritis.
3.Eating too much or too quickly: If the cat eats too much or too quickly, it can also trigger the cat to vomit. Therefore, when we feed cats, we must control the amount of food and the speed of feeding.
4.Irritation of the gastric mucosa: When the gastric mucosa of cats is irritated, it will cause gastric peristalsis and irregular contraction, which will lead to vomiting. This condition can be caused by the cat eating food or drugs that are not suitable for it.
