If your cat is supposed to feed at a particular time and it knows, when the time reaches its stomach starts releasing digestive juices, i.e. hydrochloric acid, gastric juices, and bile. If these juices don’t find food in the stomach, they in irritate the stomach. If you happen to feed it lets say three hours later, the cat is likely to vomit an hour after its regular eating time. This is to get rid of the excess juices in the stomach. To prevent this give your cat something small to eat before feeding her at a later time or feed her on time.
