Vomiting problem

I assume you have ruled out hairballs? I would also try feeding less
food at a time. I had a cat who would eat really fast and then throw
up. Small portions more frequently helped.

Fur Balls

I will say what I always say about this problem - get Temptations

sudden hairball increase

more? Thirdly, my cat is also having more hairballs these...

My Kitten's Eyes

When you put the gel in her eyes, be careful not to touch the

Hairball Advice

Have you tried Temptations for Hairballs? They are treats in a little
foil bag and I find that they work really well. However, you may need
to comb/brush her nearly daily.

How old is she? Have you taken her to the vet for a checkup? That
would be a good idea before you introduce her to the other kitties.
