My cat has been throwing up undigested food a few times a day for the last week. It seems to happen shortly after he eats. He's still playing and seems otherwise normal, but I'm concerned.

Identified Causes
Rapid Eating/Gulping
75%Cats that eat too quickly can ingest a large amount of air along with their food, leading to regurgitation of undigested food shortly after meals. This is often a behavioral issue rather than a medical one.
Food Intolerance or Allergy
60%Your cat may be sensitive to a specific ingredient in their current food, causing digestive upset and vomiting. This can develop even with foods they've eaten for a while.
Esophageal Issues (e.g., Megaesophagus, Stricture)
30%Conditions affecting the esophagus can prevent food from properly reaching the stomach, leading to regurgitation of undigested food. This is less common but a possibility.
