We took our cat Reeses to the vet on Friday to have her checked because she wasn't eating much and had thrown up 3 times previously. The first time we gave her some ham which I suspected just didn't agree with her, the second was just random to us and it was undigested food, and the 3rd time she was playing with her mouse and we believe she probably gagged on it and that's why she threw up. It was pretty worn looking, especially with the tail, so we threw that out. The vet confirmed she did have a fever and gave her some fluids and anti-biotics.
All day Friday and Saturday she was good, ate more than I've seen her eat in a week, and didn't throw up once. Even tolerated her medicine well once we figured out the best way to give it to her. This morning however she threw up again a tiny bit, again undigested food. As I was cleaning it up I saw her favorite toy (one of those feathers and a bell on an elastic at the end of plastic rod) on the floor near the bed. Then I remembered I heard her drag it into the bedroom a few minutes before so I know she was playing with it. The feathers are pretty well worn because she will bite it during play but now I think she's been chewing it when we're not playing with her.
She's scheduled for her spay on Thursday and I will mention again to the vet that she threw up, but I think this last time is related to something with the toy, just like I think the previous time.
Does anyone else have a problem with their cat eating or chewing on their toys and vomiting afterwards? Vomiting aside, what is the best way to stop your cat from chewing on their toys? She loves the feather toy but we'll just have to supervise her with it. But she also loved her mouse toy which we had to throw out. I just want her to have toys available that she likes that won't try to eat, that she can play with when we're not around too.
