keep an eye on him/her to see if he's eating grass. They do this to make themselves sick... to remove "things" form their tummys, might be fur balls. if in doubt ring your vet

it could be the food,our cats were raised on go-cat and kept being sick, vet advised us to stop the food, feed the cats on plain food....boiled ( microwaved) fish, chicken, egg and rice..not all at the same time and in small quantities for a couple of days ( you'll get used to the look of disgust they throw at you when they see the food!) then we restarted on James Wellbeloved....more expensive but they have smaller quantities!. It could also be a fur ball especially if the cat is longer haired or even worms if its not been wormed . If it loosees condition..eyes and coat looking dull take it to the vet to make sure there is nothing else wrong. All the best

My cat does the same from time to time, I know it sounds gross but have a good look at the sick, if it has a lumpy stringy looking core, then its furballs, you can buy furball paste, you spread it on their paws, and they lick it off, it helps the fur pass smoothly through their digestive system.
Or it could be the food, try Hills Science Diet, you can even get an anti furball variety, get it from either vets or petstores, its very mild, and well tolerated, and I have never known a cat to turn it down!

Get your cat to a vet, they are the only people qualified to answer this. If you can't afford a vet you shouldn't have a cat in the first place (or, being nice now, there are some places around which only ask for a contribution for your pet to see a vet, ie RSPCA, Blue Cross etc)

could be the food.
My 2 year old feamle cat used to get sick like that, till I found out its everytime she ate beef.
I stopped giving her beef and it stoped. I guess she was alergic to beef.
Sometimes cats eat too fast......then they tend to throw up what was too much. I always leave some dry food for them, so they can ''snack'' anytime.
If this continues maybe she/he has Gastrointestinal conditions, and may need perscription food like Hills ID.
The most common symptoms associated with GI disorders are vomiting, regurgitation, flatulence, weakness, diarrhea or constipation.

If your cat eats grass and then is sick, it's possibly furballs.
You can get a special dry food that helps to reduce furballs and hence the need for your cat to make itself sick.
Science Plan make an Anti-Furball dry food.
It must be tasty as my cat enjoys it and she can be very fussy.

Might be alergic to the fillers in the food. Feed kitty food with no corn or byproducts. Get premium food from a pet store.

Perhaps it's fur balls - I suggest you call your vet and discuss with them.
