Hi,

Vomiting can either be a sign that something serious is going on, or a normal part of a cat's life. Every cat will vomit occasionally. Usually it passes quickly.

Since your cat is eating and acting normally, this is probably something that will pass, however if there is any change in behavior, I would take him in for a vet check ASAP.

Try not to go overboard with treating for hairballs. Your cat may or may not have them and giving too much of the hairball "remedies" can cause diarrhea and/or may interfere with the absorption of his food. Whatever the dose is on the tube should be fine. Vomiting of food that is digested isn't really characteristic of hairballs.

If there is a chance that your cat has eaten something that isn't edible (some cats are prone to this) I would take him in immediately for an exam and x-ray. It can take many days for a cat to partially or totally obstruct.

Take care, and please keep us updated.

Regards,
AshleyElla
