My cat is growling and vomiting. Could it be a hairball or illness?

Question

1yr old siamese/ mixed female cat , spayed, rabies vaccinated, 9-17. No signs of anything wrong this morning but by 3:00 pm she came inside after a short walk outside growling at the others inside, and myself. She has no traumas or bleeding. Vomited 1 time to my knowledge. Do you think this could be due to a blockage possibly by hairballs? Or something else

A change in behavior could be from pain or anxiety. Vomiting could have a range of causes, including hairballs, food allergy, eating too fast, GI blockage, intestinal parasites, etc. I would give her some time to calm down. If she is still acting odd or continues vomiting or has a poor appetite, I would definitely have her examined by the vet.
