My cat threw up something like poop. Is this serious or normal?

Hello, I have a four year old cat that seems to vomit up poop. I’m not sure if that’s what she’s actually doing or vomiting on her poop. She acts normally afterwards and eats, sleeps, etc fine. She has done this once before a year ago. Is it common for cats to do this sometimes, or is it serious? Thank you

This isn't common for a cat to do this, but it could be something Lana is eating that looks like poop and is causing her to vomit. If this doesn't happen very often, I would keep an eye on her for now. The next time it happens, have her seen by a vet for a health check. I hope this helps!
