My 5-month-old kitten threw up after treats but seems fine. Why?

Question

My 5 month old kitten suddenly threw up today. She was whining for her treats which I gave to her after which she vomitted. After that she continued to play. She drank some water and took a poop aswell. Is this just because maybe she over ate? I am attaching a picture of the vomitted material. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Cuddles! Sometimes cats just vomit. If she is eating, drinking, playing and doesn't continue to vomit I wouldn't worry too much. It could have been from a hair ball, the treat upset her, she was full or from excitement. I would avoid that treat for a while. Be sure she has been dewormed well, has had her stool tested and is up to date on vaccines. I hope this helps!
