Bernie

A little worried about Bernie. The last few nights he has vomited alot of saliva and a little grass. Initially I wondered if he had a furball stuck but no fur has been brought up. I then wondered if he had a blockage of some sort but he is eating and toileting ok so now i am thinking along the lines of excess tummy acid?
I have now raised his bowls to see if this may make a difference.
He seems fine in himself and I can not see anything else out of the ordinary.
Eva is in the vets later this week for her weigh in so I may take Bernie along too for a wee check over.

Cassie has vomited frothy saliva and grass a few times Elaine, especially after she has been outdoors. On occasions I have found the remains of mouse giblets in the garden so I have assumed she caught and ate a mouse that didn't agree with her.

Maybe Bernie has been 'feeding' outdoors??

Bernie obviously had an upset tummy for whatever reason and cleverly went and ate some grass. This made him sick and hopefully has got rid of whatever was upsetting him. If everything else is normal with him I wouldn't worry. Give him a hug from me.

Bernie's not much of a hunter to be honest. Eva is the one that comes in with birds, and mice although she hasnt caught anything for ages. She did bring home a bone from the garden the other day and not a small bone either

.
Only once has Bernie caught a bird, took it in alive and unscathed. I had to catch it and set it free

poor birdy.
I just cannt work it out. Last ime a cat of mine vomited like this, he had CRF. Bernie is not showing any other symptoms and as I say is eating, toileting and playing just fine. When he vomits though there is alot of liquid ( I mean its a sizable puddle), no food, ocasionally grass.

I think it's a normal cat thing - Bubbles sometimes does it and is just grass and saliva/bile. I think they just feel a bit uncomfortable for some reason and it makes them feel better and then are fine. If he's toileting and eating and is his usual self then I wouldn't be worried.

*hugs*

I wouldnt normally worry if it was a one off but its been the last 3 nights on the trot and always in the dead of night.
