Hi There,

Just like humans, some cats have more acid in their stomachs than others. This is likely to cause empty-stomach vomiting during the night after the cat has digested his or her dinner. I think this is the likely cause of your cat's vomiting.

I would try feeding a "bedtime snack" to see if this makes any difference. This would cut down on the number of hours that the cat's stomach would remain empty.

One of my cats has done this most of her life and feeding a late-evening snack has helped tremendously. She is also on Pepcid AC, on the advice of her vet and is doing very well now.

Regards,
PHKitkat
