Why This Site Exists

Why Is My Cat Vomiting started with one question, the one 135,000 people type into Google every month: why is my cat vomiting? Our founder, Amelia Foster, spent years asking versions of that question in the middle of the night, and finding two kinds of answers. The first kind caused panic. The second was written in jargon no tired owner could follow. Neither kind said the one thing she actually needed to hear: what this probably is, what to do right now, and when it becomes an emergency.

So she built the site she had needed. One focused topic at a time, covered properly, in plain English.

What You Will Find Here

Right now the library has one category, and it is the one worried owners need most:

  • Cat Health: symptoms, parasites and conditions explained calmly, starting with the vomiting pillar guide on our homepage.

New guides are added to Cat Health every week, and new topics will open as their guides are completed.

How Every Guide Is Made

  1. The question is researched against published veterinary sources first, never the other way round.
  2. The draft is cross-checked against guidance published by the Cornell Feline Health Center.
  3. Everything is rewritten in plain English, with the steps a worried owner can follow at 2 a.m.
  4. Every guide states clearly where home care ends and a vet visit cannot wait.
  5. Guides are reviewed and updated, and the review date sits at the top of every page.

About Amelia Foster

Amelia Foster is the founder and lead writer of Why Is My Cat Vomiting. Based in Austin, Texas, she is a lifelong cat owner who started this site after years of late-night searches every time one of her own cats was sick, finding either panic or jargon, never a straight answer. Amelia writes full-time about cat health and behavior, and every guide here is researched against published veterinary sources: what the symptom means, what to do at home, and the exact point where a vet visit cannot wait. Each guide is also cross-checked against guidance published by the Cornell Feline Health Center at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Her rule for every article is simple: if it would not calm a worried owner at 2 a.m., it gets rewritten.
