AffectedAnimals:
Any age, sex, or breed of cat.

Overview:
Vomiting is one of the more common reasons why owners take their cats to the veterinarian.  Isolated episodes of vomiting rarely are a cause for concern as long as the cat still has an appetite and is bright and alert.  Most healthy cats will, on occasion, vomit whole or partially digested food, hairballs, or foamy, clear liquid.

On the other hand, excessive or chronic vomiting can be indicative of a more serious underlying condition that requires treatment.  Always seek veterinary care if a cat vomits for a period longer than one day or appears ill because dehydration can occur.
