Common causes of vomiting in cats includes hairballs, food allergy, eating too fast, GI blockage, intestinal parasites, IBD, intestinal lymphoma, hyperthyroidism, systemic disease (liver, kidney, pancreas, diabetes), among others. You can remove her food and wait 6-12 hours to see if the vomiting stops. Then only give her small amounts of her food. If the vomiting continues tomorrow, Mochi should get checked out by her vet.

Poor Lila! This intermittent vomiting could be caused by an ulcer, gastritis, foreign body, heartworm disease, feline panleukopenia, or inner ear disease among many other causes. I would recommend taking Lila into the vet for an exam. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, a urinalysis, and any other tests that they deem necessary in order to diagnose what is causing her symptoms. Once a cause is found, the vet can institute an appropriate treatment.

It sounds as Lily is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
