Updated 6/1/19 Can cats get acid reflux? Look at this cute face!  This is Tanisha, a Himalayan Persian who was diagnosed with acid reflux disease sometime after she turned ten years old.  Is acid reflux in cats a real thing?  Apparently so!

Now this might be really hard for many of you to swallow…and your first instinct may be to close your mind…and you may even get a little upset with me for saying it, but it’s time you know the truth!
