help I have a sick cat

I would start restricting his food access - give him smaller portions, try to control how fast he's eating.

Either way, like other posters have suggested, you may want to take him in to the vet and have some bloodwork done at the very least. He could be diabetic or a host of other problems.

If that doesn't figure things out, you may be looking at some more expensive testing/scans to see if he's got something going on anatomically.

Poor dude.


As an animal lover, I know how frustrating it can be when they get sick - they can't tell you what's wrong or different. It makes diagnosis a bitch sometimes.

I have a 8 yr old male cat who loves to eat ,he is nueterd , and he is fat he weighs 32 lbs, but he is big as well , big boned ,as far as cats go, a couple times a mounth, he pukes all over the place and then goes right back and stuffs his face again .we have always fed him good ,but I think he has an eating disorder , BULIMIA, always eating then puking, has anyone ever had a cat with these symptoms ???? help we love him a lot. his name is fester j hoggbelly . again thanx

Yes. A smaller female and a fat one like you describe. Weaning them off and no dry food between wet food did the trick. If there is blood it can be a kidney infection, blood in the hurl that is. Fancy feast and Amoire may be convenient but bad for them. Science diet is boring to them and non-palette able.

Just start giving him only 1/3 cup of food, twice per day.

Store the rest of his food so he can not get to it.

Just that, with plenty of fresh water every day.

Wet food is better than dry food for most part.

This is all true!

You can't just let him eat out of an open bag of cat food.

You can't just leave full bowls of cat food for him to eat.

Try stirring baking soda in his milk ...

vet

yes he weighs 32 lbs we spoiled him since day one , but he is big huge infact a friend of mine said he was a Russian blue he is unique in some ways.

32lb for any domestic cat is extremely obese, my girlfriend is a vet tech and she said you should take him to the vet either way. he could have diabetes and this could be causing him to be this heavy, he also could have hyper-thyroid issues, so it is actually important to take the cat to see the vet

You've been given basic instructions on what to do to seek the proper help, now its up to you to actually get this done.

He could be throwing up because something is not healthy within the cat, not because he wants to keep eating. I know that sounds like a nice plausible excuse but I think there is more going on inside

CAT DOOM!

Apply pressure to his abdomen, couple hundred pounds will thin him out

32 pound cat? holy shit
