Physical. Emotional. Complete.® - That's the Purina® Cat Chow® Way of Life®

They're all grown up—it's time to start treating, and feeding, them that way. Just because they're older, however, doesn't mean they're completely self-sufficient. Adult cats have nutritional needs particular to their life stage just as kittens and senior cats do, and they need your help to meet them. The CatChow.com Adult Care Center will clue you in on what you need to know.

Topic: Eating Problems

Help! My Cat Refuses to Eat!

My cat vomits after he eats. It is not new food to him and the only one he likes. He seems to do this when I am not at home and the food is hardly digested.

What are some possible reasons my cat is not eating?

My cats seem to eat so fast they throw up right after eating. Is this normal or should I take them to the vet?

My oldest cat is about 4 and I have just gotten a new kitten in the home to cheer up my younger cat. Now my oldest one doesn't eat, drinks very little and doesn’t use the litter box.

Why does my cat like to eat litter?

I have two kittens and no matter what I do they go in my plant, spreading the potting soil all over the carpet. I tried lemon peels, sticks, but it does not work. I put on clear tape but then the plant starts to yellow. The plant is too big to move it out of reach.

After using Purina Hairball Cat Chow, I have noticed my two cats are drinking 2 liters of water within two days. We are mixing the hairball Cat Chow with the urinary tract Cat Chow. The vet recommended the urinary tract several years ago. Our cats are 8 years old. Is this high amount of water usual? Is it caused by the hairball Cat Chow?

My two cats (both about ten months old) love to eat unsalted roasted peanuts - Is this a health hazard for them?

I have noticed one of my cats eating dirt from my potted plants. Why does he do this and is it harmful to him. Is there something he is lacking in his diet?

I have a 4-month-old kitten and she eats a lot! I'm afraid that if she eats too much she'll start to get problems. What should I do?

I recently took in a two-year-old stray cat (Jack) who simply will not stop eating. The problem is I have another much older (13-year-old) cat (L.B.) that was never a very good eater and is used to the food being out all time. To not leave the food out all the time I am afraid would seriously disturb my already timid older cat. Is there anything else I can do to curb the new cat’s eating behavior?

My cat plays with insects and usually eats them after getting bored. We recently moved to the South and there seems to be new bugs for her to consume, including millipedes and centipedes. Can these two hurt her by biting or by her eating them?

My cat seems to have an eating problem, she likes to lick her dry food into her mouth and swallow the food without chewing. How can I fix that problem? How to train her to chew her food?
