Hi Kaelyn,

Is it possible that she is getting into something while you're not home? Do you have any houseplants she might be chewing on?

Another possibility, if you leave food down for her, is that she is overeating.

Finally, she may simply become stressed when you leave and groom to calm herself. This can result in the production of hairballs, which can result in the cat hacking up the hairball.

My advice is to study the appearance of the vomit (I know, gross right?). If it is a hairball, you'll be able to see hairs and other particles in it. If it is clear or contains food, then you may want to make a trip to the vet.

If she is throwing up more than occasionally, I'd definitely mention to the vet on your next regular visit. She may even have some minor food allergies.

Hi Sathya,

There is some discomfort after spaying. Perhaps she simply wants to be comforted. Or maybe she's glad to be home. I would watch her other behaviors carefully. If you notice any of the following, it is a reason to take her back to the vet immediately:

Bleeding from the stitched surgical site
Lethargy
Not eating or drinking
Inability to urinate or defecate

Otherwise, she'll likely grow a bit more independent as she feels better.

My cat was spayed a couple of days ago,and asa result of that my cat seems to be much more affection.Prior to my cat's surgery she was the complete opposite(meaning very independent).Is it a good sign or a sign of pain?

Hi Damien,

Just like people, cats have different personalities and grieve differently. Some cats mope and seem particularly sad, while others bounce back quickly. I suspect your cat's young age has something to do with this. You've probably noticed that human children rebound more quickly from tragedies than adults as well. Cats are no different. He likely does miss the other cat, but he's still a child and is just playing and being a kid. Hope that answers your question.
