Ever sence friday my cat has been throwing up all over the place. I don't really know why. It seams to be always after she eats.

I have a 12-year old cat that is so greedy, everytime I give him canned wet food, he scarfs it down, only to hork it up about 2 minutes later. Gross.
He's been like that his whole life...sometimes there's a hairball in the pile, sometimes it's just food.
Give her some hairball medicine - there's some gel stuff that cats like the taste of so it's not hard to give it to them...see if that helps. Moderate the amount of food given to her at one time.
If she goes outside, she may have consumed something she shouldn't have. Mine eats little lizards from time to time, and he'll throw up everything he eats until the lizard comes up too.
My cat is otherwise healthy...he's just a barfer, I guess. Just make sure yours is healthy, take her to the vet, see what the vet says, and try my suggestions above. The vet may have additional advice on whether it's possible she was accidentally or intentionally poisoned if she goes outside.
Good luck, hope kitty feels better!

Probably hairballs possibly from fleas. Try combing the fleas out with a fine tooth comb. Petromalt could help (it dissolves hairballs). Similar items are sold in any pet store. Keep in mind that this is probably not a temporary condition. A trip to the vet might be worth it. Good luck.

Could be something as simple as hairballs or she could have developed an intestinal problem. Vomiting is a vague symptom, and could mean lots of things--some very serious. She will be dehyrated if she doesn't stop. You need to take her to a vet tomorrow and have her checked out.

My cat does this too - I've found that it happens when she eats, drinks water and then runs around the house like a nut. Her stomach gets upset and she hurls.
I've found the best thing to clean it up is Scotchguard with oxy pet stain cleaner...

Best take her to the vets. hairballs would not make a cat throw up that much.
