Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Once in a while vomit may not be concerning, but if you have noticed she is vomiting more frequently, then I would have Corner examined by your veterinarian soon. Vomiting in cats can have a variety of medical causes: hairball, dietary indiscretion, organ dysfunction such as liver or kidney disease, inflammatory bowl disease, food allergies, and more. While I wouldn't get too worried, I would recommend she see her veterinarian soon for a check up to help rule out some of the causes above. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
