Why is my cat vomiting without hairballs, but acting normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 5 lbs

Hi , our cat is an indoor cat , and we do feed her the same food as she won't try other brands and I do give cat treats , she has occasionally vomited sick with hair balls but for two night in succession she's been sick with no hair ? We got the same brand good the other day but not her usual combination and she has been eating it , she's not sick or acting different, can you advise please

Chronic vomiting in cats is usually not food related, it could be due to pancreatitis, IBD, lymphoma and kidney failure (among other things). it's very important that you take Ringella to the vet in order to get that checked, she will need to have a blood test done to start with in order to try and reach a diagnosis.
