The most common reason for cats throwing up is overeating. This can trigger a stretch reflex in their tummies that results in the regurgitation of food. When should I take my cat to the vet for vomiting?
Seek professional help if there are signs of bleeding, or if the cat is depressed and still vomiting after initial efforts at control have failed. It never hurts to check with your vet if you are worried about your cat's health. That makes me think this is a very anxious kitty. Not to mention the extra fur she is ingesting that may be irritating to her stomach.
Obviously, I haven't examined the cat personally and I cannot say definitely that this kitty's vomiting isn't the result of a medical cause and is definitely the result of anxiety. However, that would certainly be the first thing on my list, based on the information I've been given.
I would do this for two reasons: a because I recommend that for every cat, and b there's still the possibility that this cat's vomiting is caused entirely or partially by the ingested hair. A place where her own bowl of food, water, and litter box is readily available. Extra affection, more playtime with interactive cat toys, combing, and treats can all help her feel special again.
If that helps, it also gives a diagnostic answer as well as some relief. Before resorting to that, you can try a couple of over-the-counter homeopathic cat meds that are safe for cats and relax them. Some of my clients use Bach Rescue Remedy Spray for their cats with great success.
Another wonderful tool that all stressed cats, and cats in general, benefit from is Feliway, a cat pheromone product. If the above measures do not give improvement, then I would suggest repeating bloodwork, fecal and x-rays and possible ultrasound and perhaps get a referral to a GI specialist.

For cats, there may be some low key indicators of an allergic response in your Persian cat. Is there skin inflammation? These signs combined with vomiting could be a serious sign of allergy for your kitty. Your vet will be able to do a thorough check for any external causes, such as fleas or mites that may escape your notice.
Once an allergy has been determined as the cause, the vet will then suggest completing a food trial and food challenge. A food trial is a strict diet that your Persian cat will be put on to see if their symptoms resolve when they stop eating their old food.
If the symptoms resurge, then it is confirmed they have an allergy, and your vet will indicate what to do for a new diet. When calling to mind the image of a stressed cat, we think of the typical Halloween scared post, or a hunched down, ears back, hissing sputtering mess of fur. However, both of these images are just one or two types of stress a kitty might deal with. This is called acute stress, which, as it sounds, is more incidental and temporary.
The second type is chronic stress, which may start as acute, but can continue and grow over time. Chronic stress can present as hiding, behavior changes, social changes, and even inappropriate urination or defecation. Two areas that you might see stress come out in your Persian cat are if you have any dogs in the house that do not get along with her or if your Persian is having hormone issues around mating.

Persian cats, and cats in general , are not the big mystery that many people consider them to be. They like routine, easy access to food, playtime, and snuggles. If you have any big life changes, such as a new pet, a big move, or even increased vet visits, it can throw them off.
Some of these include:. It is possible you could see your Persian cat scratching your furniture or tearing up your carpet. To learn more about if Persian cats scratch furniture: Click Here.
If all other possibilities are exhausted, the final possibility for why a Persian cat is vomiting, and the scariest, is that there is an underlying health issue they are trying to alert you about. In fact, when sick, cats tend to try to hide it as much as they can. A good rule of thumb is that if you are concerned, there is no harm in checking.
