You need to get her to the vet PRONTO!!!! Vomiting can severely dehydrate a cat and a loss of 4 pounds for her is like a 140 lb person losing 40.That is serious weight loss.I had a cat who vomited for 4 or 5 days and although cats will vomit from time to time,this was not normal.I brought her to one vet and they changed her diet.That did not work so they referred me to a specialist who did a battery of tests and it was not good.Sammy had cancer and died 48 hours after surgery to remove her spleen and part of her liver.TAKE HER TO THE VET NOW!!!! I sincerely hope your kitty is ok.My situation was not a common one.Hopefully yours is not like mine.God Bless and good luck.

That's a great weight loss for a cat and you really need to have her evaluated by a vet for the cause. Vomiting is not a good sign either.
I hope she can be treated successfully.

Take her to the vet immediately. It could be poisonin. How long has this been going on? She has already lost almost 30% of her body weight, this is very dangerous....please take her to a vet now, it seems like it has already been a while that she has been sick and you need to act immediately.

Take her to the vet! She could have a serious intestinal parasite or could have been poisoned. I'm not sure if cats can get parvo, but something is definitely wrong and she requires immediate medical attention.

take her to a vet. vomiting is normal for cats because of hairballs but not that much and with the weight loss, thats not normal.

i also had a cat
when we just bought him
he was terrific
but then he started losing weight and
he went worse
and he also started leaving food in his bowl
we tried our best
but his health kept on detoreorating
then one morning we couldn't find him anywhere
we went like crazy
then at night my little sister found him lying between the bushes
in the garden
and she thought he was sleeping and she was so glad to find him
but for our misfortune
his soul was already gone
and we lost him
........................

Take her to the vet. Also, give her lots of water as she might become dehydrated.
