Siamese kitten has a problem.

I have a six-month old Siamese kitten. He started sneezing some weeks ago. He does it off and on. Lately he has started regurgitating his meals be it a lizard he caught or the cat food I get from the store.

His mother used to eat her catch. For about a year she’s not been able to catch anything except lizards. As a result she no longer has the “stomach” for it. Every time she does it does not stay down. That I love because I wanted her to stop.

At first I thought that was what was happening the kitten but this morning he threw up his Purina cat chow twice! I can’t take him to the vet as yet. Is there anything I can do for him in the mean time?

Try some more basic foods. A sick animal is rarely in the sort of shape necessary to digest more complex foods. Sources of basic nutrition that don't take a lot of effort are good alternatives. Typically, this would mean, "Give the kitten some milk," but cats actually don't do well at all with most milk that you could provide them. It upsets their stomach and nauseates them. Yogurt works very well though, and is high in basic nutritional substances that will help your cat keep its strength up until you can get it to a vet.
Even if the current symptoms disappear, you should still get the kitten to a vet as soon as possible.

hmm. I never had a Siamese do that too much. Usually when they regurgitate it means fur balls. But some how I don't think that would be a problem in your climate.. Could the lizards be posinness to young kittys

I just got another Siamese kitten about 4 weeks ago not much of a hunter but sure can find my toes. I have two Siamese cats now I have seal point named Sinbad and the little kitten named Metoo. Metoo looks like the kitten in your photo cloes to th left side
