About 2 or 3 months ago I had to take my mother's cat in with me. According to my sister and mom she has always had a puking problem. The first month or so whe was puking a lot of hairballs mostly and white foamy liquid. Sometime she'd puke up partially digested chunks of food too. About once a week maybe if that. However, I went away for the weekend and came back and her food bowl was almost full. Since then I've noticed she is not eating much and if I give her treats, she pukes it up within a few minutes - all liquid. Before she pukes, I hear crunching sounds and I see her start to contort her face. She is about 10 or 11. A year ago my sister took her to the vet who found no problems but now this not eating thing is starting to worry me. I'm going to call a vet tomorrow but I've never owned a pet and readings these forums has me concerned that this will cost me an arm and a leg.

The other weird thing I've noticed is that in the last couple of weeks she's been licking the carpet where the cat litter is and licking the cat litter! I am so worried about her

She is an indoor cat and has never been too active. She just sits around different places around the apartment and likes to sleep near the sun. I haven't noticed any behavior changes.
