If you have ever heard that unmistakable hacking sound just minutes after your cat eats, you are not alone. Vomiting after meals is one of the most common concerns among cat owners—and it can be distressing for both of you. But what is really causing it?
Let’s explore the possible reasons behind this frustrating feline behavior—and how something as simple as switching to the right feeding dish can make all the difference.
Common Reasons Cats Vomit After Eating
1. Eating Too Fast
Many cats gobble their food too quickly, especially if they're anxious or food-driven. This can lead to regurgitation, where the food comes back up undigested—often moments after eating.
2. Poor Eating Posture
When cats eat from dishes that are too low, too deep, or poorly angled, they may have to hunch, twist, or strain their necks. This awkward posture can impact digestion, especially in older cats.
3. Inappropriate Bowl Design
Traditional bowls often cause food to spread out or get stuck in corners. This makes cats chase food around the dish, increasing air intake and disrupting the rhythm of their eating.
4. Food Sensitivities or Health Issues
Sometimes vomiting is due to allergies, hairballs, or gastrointestinal problems. But if your cat is otherwise healthy and only vomits after eating, the culprit may lie in how they eat—not what they eat.
How The Ultimate Cat Dish Helps Reduce Vomiting
At The Ultimate Cat Dish, we have seen firsthand how smart design can improve feline wellness—and vomiting is no exception. Here is how our dish supports better digestion:
✅ Centres the Food
Our unique concave surface keeps food in the middle of the bowl, so your cat doesn’t have to chase bits around. This encourages slower, more focused eating—reducing gulping and air intake.
✅ Promotes Healthy Posture
The low-rim, gently sloped design supports a natural feeding position. No more craning necks or awkward angles. This is especially important for senior cats, like our mascot Winston, who benefit from joint-friendly feeding.
✅ Shallow and Wide to Prevent Overeating
Our dish discourages overfilling and overeating by offering just the right surface area. It’s intentionally designed to suit your cat’s natural portion sizes—and encourage mindful munching.
✅ Non-Toxic, Non-Porous Material
Crafted from high-quality soda lime glass, it’s hygienic and won’t absorb smells or bacteria—both of which can lead to aversions or digestive upset.
Winston’s Story: A Real-Life Transformation
Winston, our 16-year-old Ragdoll, used to vomit after meals regularly—especially when he had to bend low to reach his food. Since using The Ultimate Cat Dish, he’s been more comfortable, eats more calmly, and hasn’t vomited once after meals. It’s made mealtimes easier on him—and on me.
The Bottom Line
If your cat frequently vomits after eating, it’s worth taking a closer look at their feeding setup. Something as simple as switching their dish can lead to better digestion, less mess, and a happier cat.
The Ultimate Cat Dish was designed to address everyday feeding frustrations—like vomiting, whisker fatigue, and food waste—by putting feline comfort and health first.
