I'm a bit worried about my little cat

[msrisotto]

she's nearly 2 years old and has started throwing up much more often than before. There's nothing unusual or worrying in it, no blood, just digested dry food (she has plenty of water available) but she's thrown up her food definitely 2, maybe 3 times in the last week!
She doesn't go outside but she does have Pica I think as I have to keep hair bands, plastic bags, etc away from her as she'll eat them.
Should I make an appointment with the vet?

Maybe she has furballs. Can you convince her to eat something greasy (fried chicken is good) it can help ahem flush the hairballs out.

She may well be bolting her food because she's hungrier if she's out more. You could try feeding less but more often.

And worm her.

Agree with WMMC it could well be furballs. I've got a shorthaired but fluffy cat who is prone to shedding a lot; particularly now the warmer weather is coming and unless I brush her daily she ends up puking a fair bit due to furballs.

We've also got something called a hairball lick stick - a sort of sticky, malty brown goo served from what looks like a deodorant stick, which I think helps. Fluffy cat luckily thinks it is bloody delicious and licks away gleefully, but our other cat - when offered a lick, sniffed daintily and then recoiled so fast she fell backwards off the sofa, so it isn't for every cat!

As cats are just sometimes sicky beasts with no worrying cause, without knowing the cat, it is impossible to tell if she needs a trip to the vet or not. You are the one who would be aware if she was acting differently - besides the upchucking. Cats that are ill often just huddle down lethargically and act unwilling to move; if she is her usual active self then it is more probable that there isn't something horribly wrong. That she is eating/drinking is a pretty good sign that there probably isn't something majorly wrong with her too.

Is she pooing normally? Because vomiting + no pooing or just very small runny poos can be a sign of a blockage in the gut, and obviously a vet trip would be in order in that case.

Thanks for replying. She is her normal self otherwise (including toilet habits), I have been giving her 'de furrem''' treats which she loves but I've only been giving her the preventative dose rather than treatment dose so i'll give her more today and see if that helps. Thanks.
