- 1). Brush your cat often. Cats have the ability to groom themselves, but as a consequence regularly end up swallowing large amounts of their own hair, which causes them to vomit hair balls. Brush your cat at least once per day to prevent vomiting.
- 2). Feed your cat moist foods. Dry food, if eaten quickly, can cause a cat to vomit. Purchase moist store-brand cat food or add a little water or milk to your cat's dry food to prevent vomiting.
- 3). Get rid of household rodents. Consumption of rodents can cause cats to vomit. Purchase a few snap-traps and place them in areas where you've witnessed recent sightings of mice. Remove the dead mice from the traps immediately to prevent your cat from consuming the pest. You can purchase snap-traps at hardware stores.
- 4). Remove strong cleaning pesticides from your home. Cats that consume or even inhale strong cleaning pesticides in your home are at an increased risk of vomiting. Clean your home with natural, animal-friendly products to prevent vomiting in your cat.
- 5). Take your cat to the veterinarian for a thorough checkup. Regular vomiting is very common in cats, yet if it becomes frequent, something else may be wrong. According to Washington State University, dogs and cats that vomit for longer than a few days or are depressed or dehydrated should be presented for veterinary evaluation.
