Let’s be honest,  the sound of a cat about to vomit is nature’s alarm clock. You could be fast asleep, and suddenly… hurk… hurk… it’s never on the tile, always on the carpet, and your cat looks at you like you caused it. A random hairball or the odd “ate too fast” moment is usually harmless. But if it’s happening regularly, it’s time to do some detective work. Frequent vomiting is a message from your cat that something’s off.
