Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I have been here, but I need some advice. I have since lost my 19-year-old kitty. I had to have her put to sleep last year. I now have a new rescue baby "Trixe." I've had her since 5 weeks of age. She has been to the vet for all her tests and kitty vaccines....all is fine.
She is now about 6 months old, she was spayed last month. At about 4 months of age she started vomiting on and off for no apparent reason. She would start smacking her lips as if she had something in her mouth and shortly thereafter she would vomit. A few minutes later she would be eating and running around like nothing happened. The vet checked her out and really didn't know what the problem was. Long story short, she still does this on and off a couple of times a week. Usually it at night while she's on our bed! My husband is ready to kill me and her.
I now think it may be the plants in the house. I have two that she loves to swat the leaves on, although I have never seen her chew on it. She does this mostly at night when we are having dinner or watching TV. I'm assuming it's for attention. Does it make sense that this would cause the vomiting late at night, early morining? I have now put those plants outside to see if anything changes in her behavior.
Also, when she does vomit, it's mostly food and I don't see anything that looks plant-like or hairball-like. She's short haired and I comb her often.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
