Why does my cat keep throwing up food and hairballs so often?

Question

My cat has been throwing up at least four days a week. She goes to the Vet every 6 months. They said she is fine. The throw up is sometimes undigested food and other times looks like hairballs. We know when it is getting ready to happen because she makes a weird meow sound. We have tried to raise her food bowl and switched from wet food to dry. Do you have any suggestions?

Brushing Meezer daily to remove excess hair will help reduce the hair balls and therefore the vomiting. You can also give cat laxative twice weekly to reduce the hair balls. Feeding several small meals will help too as cats who eat large amounts quickly tend to vomit more frequently. In general healthy cats tend to vomit off an on regardless. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Meezer.
