Perhaps you have watched your cat gulp down his chow speedily (like a dog!), then drink a lot of water(like a dog!), then he jumped up on the bed for a nap(like a cat). He wakes up and jumps off the bed -- whoops -- your cat is vomiting his dinner all over the floor. If he gives the mess a disdainful glare and sits down in front of the cat food bowl seeing for more food, you don't need to be too concerned. Your cat plainly had a load of undigested food in his belly and landed on the floor too hard which caused him to throw up his dinner.

- Pancreatitis
- Diabetes
