Question

How do I reduce stress over grooming in cat, leading to vomiting from too much fur in stomach? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 14 years old | 6 lbs

You need to figure out what is stressful in the cat's environment, and reduce the stress for her. It could be the addition of a new cat, a move, a new baby in the house, etc. Have Mokey seen by a vet first, however, as over grooming could also be due to a medical illness. I'd take her into a vet in the morning.
