Vomit is not sterile. It contains a mixture of stomach contents, including food particles, digestive enzymes, and bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract. While the stomach has some protective mechanisms, the presence of bacteria means that vomit can carry pathogens and potentially harmful microorganisms. Therefore, it is important to handle vomit with caution to avoid contamination and infection.

Can a cat die from aspirating its own vomit?

Yes, and I wouldn't be surprised if the cat did die from this. The lungs are a sterile environment for the most part, but the stomach can have all sorts of bacteria in it. Also, the vomit is very irritating (remember the burning sensation at the back of your nose the last time you threw up?), which causes a massive inflammatory response in the lungs that can basically flood the lungs with water and drown the cat.
