Could be they are getting their fur in their food and swallowing it or they may be trying to throw up a fur ball.!

My guess is a hair ball. They eat so much of their hair while cleaning and with their food..and about once a year they throw up a yucky hairball that's been accumulating in their bellies.You can talk to your vet, or just check out the local pet food aisle for special remedies. If you see them throw up the hairball, trash it. Don't let them eat whatever they upchuck. Good luck.!

Hairballs are the only reasonable reason I can suggest for regurgitation. If that is not the cause, then my guess is that your cats have sensitive stomachs and you might have to consider a food that is considerate of that. There are foods designed specifically for cats with this problem. I have a persian with a similiar issue and he is healthy in every other regard, but many cat foods don't agree with him and as a result, he brings it right back up after eating. Also, if you change foods on your cats frequently, that can also cause stomach issues. You want it to be a slow change. I would recommend going to a pet supply store and find a cat food for sensitive stomachs. Then gradually change their food by adding a little of the new food and a little less of the old food so that it doesn't shock their already sensitive systems. Add a little more of the new and a little less of the old every day until you are completely onto the new food.If this is the cause, then the right diet should fix it. If not, then you definitely should take them to the vet and see if it's allergy related or something else.

I have 6 cats, and 2 of them do that regularly. Their problem: They eat too fast. They jump in the bowls and scarf down the food like someone else is going to steal it. One of them will go around and clean everyone else's bowl, then she will get sick. I have just learned to deal.

cats are known to overeat more than what their bodies can hold and then they throw it up unfortunately...one thing you can do is switch their food...i use purina one for sensitive systems and the throwing up has virtually stopped

My cat has had the same problem for years too. Usually with dry food. When I got a second cat it started but even I feed them in separate rooms she still eats fast which I think contributes. A little bit of furball laxative (from pet stores) helps in moulting season when it's worst to get the furballs through. But I think it's become a morning habit for her - she does it with breakfast every second or third day - and I've never found a solution though god knows I think I've tried everything. She even eats her vomit a few minutes later which is gross so I get her her eat breakfast outside then I bring her back inside when it's "safe". I'm sure that can't be good, though. I've found some improvement by making her food bowl raised up higher so she eats it more slowly while standing not crouching.Try raising their food bowls and feeding them in separate rooms.
