She most likely has a large hairball. They make stuff for that it is like vasoline and flavor vitamins, you need to give her some large doses of that. Also, it could be the food you are feeding her. Did you make sure you don't have something that was recalled? Also, cod liver oil can help too. Good luck, if it keeps up I would have it to the vet because it might have something wrong with its stomache or have iratable bowel syndrome.

There is a list about four columns wide, 25 lines long in 12 pt single spaced font of things that can cause cats to vomit. Her age, weight, activity, habits, vaccination and deworming status, and food are all important information in discovering her problem.
The best thing you can do to help make it stop is take her to the vet. She may be suffering from hairballs to cancer, and anything in between.

You might try changing kitty's food - try to get one that is for hairballs. You can also get a tube of stuff that you just putt on your finger like toothpaste and they lick it off for hairballs. This time of year kitty will be licking herself a lot and will swallow a lot of hair as she is shedding her winter coat. If she seems fine other than throwing up then I would try this first. If she has other symptoms - lethargic, won't eat or drink - get her to the vet ASAP! My kitties need a healthy dose of hairball rememdy every spring and again in the winter when they are growing the winter coat back in - if I don't do this then they do throw up a lot!
Good luck with kitty!!!

You need to take her to the vet. My cat, Pepper, threw up fairly frequently, but it almost always included hairballs. My vet didn't sound worried, and didn't investigate further. I just tried to help her with foods / hairball meds etc. but I didn't worry about it much.
That was unfortunate. It turned out that all of that time Pepper likely had inflammatory bowel disease. And sometimes, in cats, that switches over to Lymphoma. Pepper had to be put to sleep when her lymphoma did not respond to treatments, in early April.
Get her to the vet. She may be dehydrated. She may be seriously ill, or she may need treatments to stop her from becoming seriously ill in the future.

She probably has a fur ball. Give her fur ball medication and maybe add a little vegetable oil to some soft food about three times a week. Also, purchase a package of cat grass and grow it for her. This stuff works wonders with digestion.

Most likely your cat is getting hairballs. Try to change its food to a special one with hairball control.

obviously you are hugging her waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much. the same thing happend to my cat, i know it may seem kind of silly but she just cant handle all the love . so stop hugging her for about a month and she will feel much better

Take her to the vet, if she throws up every day she has a problem.

You might need to change it's food. It might have a sensitive stomach. Best thing for you to do is take it to the vet.
