Dear Abby,

Just wanted to throw this your direction and see what your thoughts were. My cat has been sick for a week now. He has been dry heaving several times a day. There has been no change in diet or environment or anything and there also has been no change in his personality. He still eats the same, plays, sleeps the same amount, etc. He has only actually "produced" anything form his heaving a couple of times...one of those times were because he ate too big of a blade of grass (i brought some grass in to let him eat to settle his stomach) and all that came up was that blade of grass and some saliva (yes i have been examining his "productions")

What could be wrong with him and should I be concerned?

Vomiting and retching are common symptoms in cats it seems. There could be nothing more than a hairball problems but potential for more serious problems means a visit to your vet is warranted. Bloodwork and xrays may be needed to get to a diagnosis.
