If your cat is vomiting, you need to remove all food and water for at least the first 12 to 24 hours. If blood is present, you need to consult your vet immediately.
Chicken and Rice
After the first 24 hours, you will need to feed the cat a 50/50 mix of rice and chicken. The chicken should be boiled, skinned and boneless. If the cat is able to hold down this mixture, continue to feed it to him for at least two days.
Solid Food
If the cat is able to hold down the chicken and rice, you will need to slowing reincorporate the cat's usual food back into its diet. Start by gradually reducing the usual amount of rice that was being given and substitute it with the cat's regular dry food. Do not give the cat wet or canned food at this juncture, as its stomach would be too sensitive for that and may cause the cat to again vomit.
Avoiding Future Vomiting
Sometimes cats vomit simply because they are eating too fast and they regurgitate what they swallowed. By giving your cat larger kibble or smaller meals, and adding water to dry food to make it expand or mixing dry with wet food, the cat will eat more slowly, thereby nearly eliminating food-based vomiting.
