Hi there,
I have a 12 month old little guy who has always been very healthy. This morning he threw up a little after breakfast. Got home from work this afternoon and gave him his dinner (half whiskas sachet and some kangaroo mince- same thing he has every night) and within 5 minutes he had throw up the lot. Thankfully on the wood floor bless him.
So now he is starving. And when Ned is starving boy the world hears about it He has water available and his dry food is still there but he only eats that if he is desperate usually and thats not what he is looking for right now!
I will see how he is in the morning and if still unwell take him to the vet but in the meantime, do I feed him again tonight? Other end seems fine at the moment (thank the lord). Thanks in advance for your advice! This is the first time he has been sick and we are worried about him.

There are lots of reasons little Ned may have thrown up, even on regular food. The heat, eating too fast, different batch of roo mince, one of the satchels may have been a bit off (my parents feed wet cat food and they always reported the batch number to the company if either one of their girls were sick after eating the food just in case). Right through to having eating something else that he shouldn't that may be causing a problem. The other end being good is a very good thing and so is still having an appetite. I'd probably do just as you are and leave the dry out. You could try a little poached chicken though because it's quite bland if you're not going to survive him insisting on being fed something other than dry.

I do hope Ned's feeling better in the morning - they do worry us don't they?

If he is aksing for more food then I'd give him a little of something bland.
If he won't eat the biscuits, then maybe try him with a little cooked chicken.

A night without food won't kill him - but you might have a problem if he won't shut up!

all of my RB cats would throw up on kangaroo meat it was too strong for them, you could try the kitten Advance very bland

Thanks girls! After your advice, I cooked him a little piece of chicken (like 4 mouthfuls) and he has kept that down. He didn't know what to do with it at first!! Ended up flicking it out of his bowl and eating it off the floor.He is asleep now. Curled up on a bag. He loves sleeping on bags. Any kind - supermarket bags, Coles hessian bags, sports gear bags (still with lumpy sports gear in them). He is adorable
Here is a photo of Ned when he was tiny.

Oh what a beautiful kitty!
And I ADORE those little black paw pads!!!!!

I'm glad he kept the chicken down - maybe stick to some more chicken for a day or 2 then gradually mix in a little of his usual food. Cats like to throw up for no aparent reason sometimes - just because they can! It might be nothing at all.

Ned is adorable! Those paw pads are like polar bear feet, gorgeous and that little nose...

Glad to hear Ned was good with the chicken. I hope he's over whatever it is that upset his belly.

Taya loves bags too but she can't have bags with thin handles - they get munched We have to trim all the handles off her favourite big brown paper bag ones and remove string or ribbon handles but of course we'd never consider just not giving her the bag because she has so much fun in them, on them, under them!

Glad to hear he is better. He looks like a real cutie.
