It could be that Philip has eaten so much that when he's done eating, he's resting to let his stomach settle. I wouldn't be too worried about it if he's eating fine, pooping normally, and is generally active. If Philip continues to vomit with hair in it, I would consider putting him on a hairball formulated food.
