My cat has been vomiting yellow fluids with black pieces (i think it’s her fur). What does this mean? And is it normal?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With what you are describing I would be concerned about a hairball causing a foreign body obstruction. There may also be a systemic cause or infection. I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at her and run some tests such as bloodwork and abdominal x-rays. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
