One of our kitties is sick...but which one???

Leigh and I have been finding kitty vomit around the apartment on a regular basis for the last....while.  It seems to happen either during the night or in the morning.  But rarely (if ever) during the day or evening...makes no sense.  The vomit has just about always been filled with dry cat food, sometimes completely unchewed

I wouldn't worry about it unless there is anything odd about the vomit (weird oolour or blood). Webster for instance has a sensitive stomach. Also I noticed he gets sick if we use lower quality cat food with more filler (read: cheap stuff if we're broke). *shrug*

Performatrin from Pet Value doesn't make him sick.. but it's different for every cat. There is also sensitive stomach stuff but maybe just ask your vet? I don't think it's necessary to bring the cat in, it's probably not serious.

So you recommend another food switch?

We're gonna have a ton of catfood in our place. I wonder what it tastes like with milk...

We use Performatrin for our cats. Akasha (our newest kitty) had alot of tummy problems when the humane society had her and when we first got her. She was so used to eating garbage that she couldnt handle cat food. We were giving her the Iams the the humane society was givin her for a little bit but she was really pukey and stinky so we started to give her the Performatrin that we give Swiper (our older fat cat who also had tummy problems when we first got him from the humane society) and she hasnt had any problems since.
I love that stuff. All my cats have had it and they have all done great on it.
I had a male cat who got a UTI due to cheap food and the vet suggested that any male cat we ever owned to make sure he eats Performatrin.
Try it out.. Its good stuff, just sucks that you can only get it at Pet Valu.

Yay Performatrin!

Btw: are you giving cats *real* milk? Many cats are actually lactose intolerant.

I just realized you probably meant yourself? haha :P (I think?)
