How to stop my cat from throwing up food when vet says she's fine?

Question

My cat, who is a former feral, regurgitates a meal once every week or two. She is fed wet food exclusively, and the regurgitation occurs independent of any particular protein as it has happened with every protein we give her. She gets 3 small meals a day. No weight loss or gain. We've taken her to the vet and bloodwork is normal and the vet "didn't see anything remarkable" during physical exam. What can we do to make the regurgitation stop?

Cats commonly regurgitate food. Often this seems to be for no reason. It can occur from eating too quickly, or if your cat has hair balls. Brushing daily to remove lose hair and using cat laxative will decrease hair balls and some of the regurgitation and vomiting. This is an annoying problem but is normal and nothing to be overly concerned about. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Momma Black.
