Ok it's my cat, bigboy or bubba. Bubba has been really sick lately. He hasn't been eating and when he does he throws up. Everytime i try and pat him he moves away, which is so not my bubba(always smooching up against you) I want to know whats wrong? any ideas?
 
Sounds like a problem with his stomach what with being sick and moving away from you so you cant touch him it must be sore. I would book him in to the vets he may of eaten something thats got stuck or have a tummy bug. Hope he is feeling better soon!
 
Oh my gosh! I have seen him eating pebbles of the ground several times. Maybe thats got something to do with it. I can't take him to the vet *** we just took the pigs today and my parents don't think he needs it...
 
Well as you have seen him eating pebbles and he is throwing up (its not just fur balls is it?) Then i would say some of the stones have got stuck causing him pain and not letting anything down. Have a word with you parents give the worse case possible saying he will slowly starve to death if there is a blokage. Try syringe feeding some water a little at a tim to keep his fluids up
 
ok, no they aren't furballs, they are the bits of food he has tried eating...as soon as he eats it, it comes back up... :(
 
I think he definitely needs to be seen by a vet because it could be something serious.:( If he has been seen eating pebbles he could have a blockage which is serious and might need an operation so he really does need to get to the vet pretty soon.
