Some cats are more prone to hairballs than others - and often it doesn't really have to do with the length of the fur. However, vomiting hairballs this frequently in so few days warrants a vet exam just to be sure nothing is impacted.

Hairball treats and foods are high in fiber which help move the hair along the digestive tract. There are also products like Petromalt which coat the hairballs with petroleum jelly and move them through.

At this point, you should give your vet a call and tell him/her how frequently the cat has vomited and ask for some advice about either and exam or a hairball preventative.

Watch for serious signs of intestinal blockage - lack of appetite, lethargy and unwillingness to drink water along with vomiting. If this occurs please contact an emergency vet ASAP.

Good luck!
