Throwing up

Question
My orange tabby is 2 yeasr old (male) and today he has thrown up 3 times. Once was a hairball type vomit and one was just liquid and this last time he threw up his wet food. I dunno what the problem is. could it be the heat? He is an indoor cat and he has never vomited this many times in one day before.

Answer
That's a lot!!  Start giving Laxatone or Petromalt or another hairball medicine.  One inch a day and if this is still going on after 3 days, a call to the vet is in order.  His stomach could also be getting sensitive for various reasons, and if the barfing doesn't stop try Sensitive Stomach foods, and if that doesn't work then a trip to the vet is in order.
