When to worry if my cat vomits a furball but is still eating?

Question

My cat just vomitted up a furball, her mouth looked a little foamy but she's still eating normally, do I take her to a vet or am I worried over nothing? Pet's info: Cat | European Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 1 month old | 11 lbs

If it was just one hairball, I would keep an eye on Angel to make sure she doesn't vomit again or seem to be choking, and offer a little of her food after a few hours. Changing to a hairball diet, supplemental paste, or grooming her more often can also help reduce hairballs in the future. If she continues to vomit, or gags/tries to vomit or go to the bathroom and can't, I would be worried there was an obstruction from the hair and seek veterinary care right away.
