It sounds like you've done a lot already. Is the regurgitating affecting the cat's overall health, or is it just an annoyance?



Cats should not be regularly throwing up, although if your vet can't find anything seriously wrong, then there may not be a big problem.



Try a food with different sized kibbles - sometimes they are too small and the cats don't chew them enough and up they come. Also try raising the food bowl so that the cat doesn't have to bend down to eat.



Smaller, more frequent meals might be necessary too. Keep trying, and if the cat fails to thrive - loses weight, becomes lethargic, gets scruffy looking, then get it to the vet ASAP.



Sometimes a second opinion can clear up mysterious problems. It's not necessarily that your vet is "bad" but that he/she hasn't had a lot of experience with this sort of problem in his/her practice. There may be a gastric vet specialist who can help, or a feline specialist in your area. Talk to your regular vet about this and see what he/she recommends if you want to set your mind at ease.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
