When cats show signs of a sensitive stomach, pet parents can easily become complacent. Perhaps we get used to seeing cats cough up hairballs every couple of weeks, leading us to believe stomach irritation is just part of being a cat. But cat puke, when it doesn’t have any signs of a hairball, can be a symptom of something more serious.

• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Licking lips (which often accompanies nausea)
• Refusing food
