My cat throws up after eating but acts normal. What can I do?

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year old | 5 lbs

My cat has been throwing up recently when she eats. She doesn't seem sick, as her actions haven't changed at all. She doesn't eat too fast and has easy access to water. After throwing up, she acts completely normal. What can I do?

I am so sorry Jinx is having this issue. Was her food just changed? If so she may not be responding well to the new type of food. If her food was not just changed, I would try some cat lax or hairball remedy with her. If this does not help then I would recommend taking Jinx into a veterinarian.
