What’s the problem?
The belly is undoubtedly the most vulnerable part of a cat’s body. Allowing it to be petted there is a sign of absolute trust. But if it wasn’t accustomed to this from a very young age, that is, before 9 weeks old, it’s perfectly normal for it to be wary.
The solution: Be sure to watch for the warning signs of impending aggression: ears slightly turned back, dilated pupils… be careful, it’s warning you that it might bite. By withdrawing your hand at the right moment, you reduce its stress and avoid a bite. With patience, it may even eventually accept being petted on its belly.
Why is my cat vomiting?
Even if everything seems fine at first glance, it vomits anywhere and at any time of day or night.
What’s the problem?
Leaving aside any underlying medical conditions (gastritis, intestinal worms), the problem likely stems from the dead hair he swallows while grooming: the excess hair forms balls in the stomach (called trichobezoars). These irritate the intestinal lining and eventually cause vomiting.
The solution:
Forget about the vomiting and focus on your faithful companion’s health, keeping in mind that hairballs can cause intestinal blockages requiring surgery. To prevent and resolve this type of problem, brush him daily. This will help him eliminate those stubborn dead hairs. And if that’s not enough, consult a veterinarian. The vet may prescribe a lubricating paste or recommend a diet enriched with plant fiber.
