Cat Lovers have a weird question...

Thread Starter  

Hi all cat lovers, my 6 month old kitten/cat throws up at least 3x a week and its always pink! :confused2:AND it stains. Doesn't look like its a hairball but not sure. Sometimes his poop is strange colors, too, like pink and red. He's a very active guy and is in good health. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks for all of your help!

Have you taken him to a vet for this?

I have found that depending on the brand of cat food-many have a lot of red coloring in them. I guess it is to make it look like meat! Maybe try a more natural cat food if you think this might be the problem. Perhaps you could make his food for a week or two and see if it helps.

We've had him a couple of months and he's had his poop tested a few weeks ago. Was billed in great health. Trystelle, my DH pointed that out, too.. (about the food coloring). In every other way he's a perfectly normal kitty. My other cat doesn't have any of these problems at all and doesn't ever pass hairballs. I wonder if breed has anything to do with it - he looks to be part Siamese. Just thought I'd get other's opnions. Its not really worrying me 'cause he is very healthy otherwise. Thanks for the help!

Change the food.
Hairballs might be the culprit for the vomitting.
If it persists, I'd tae her back to the vet.

Speaking as the daughter of a vet, definitely change to a no-dye cat food. I think it was either Friskies or 9Lives, in particular, that used to give my cats red runs all the time, from the dye in the food. Is the vomit solid/semi-solid or is it very liquidy? If it's solid or semi-solid, he/she may just be having a hairball or be eating too much too quickly and accidentally making himself vomit (believe it or not, pretty common with animals). I've also had a cat in the past that would vomit whenever she got stressed. If it's liquidy vomit, there might be something else going on.
