My cat is meowing a lot and throwing up. What could be wrong?

Question

Hello doctor.My asian cat about 2 yrs old meows more than usual since a week or so. And today he vomited too. What might be the reason? It is winter here in NE India and temperature drops a bit (about 11 degree celcius). He eats well looks cheerful as usual. Please advice. Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Male | 13 lbs

He may have hair balls from ingesting hair when he grooms. For preventing hair balls there are several things you can and should do: 1) brush/comb your cat regularly, removing any loose hair from its fur as well as mattes, before they get too big. 2) buy some hair ball remedy paste from either your vet or a pet shop and feed it to your cat according to the instructions on the tube. This helps prevent formation of hairballs. 3) Next time you buy dry food pick the type that specifies "Hair ball Prevention" on the bag. This should make you and your kitty happy! Meowing more can be a sign of wanting more attention.
