Causes of vomiting in cats:
Mainly due to hairball syndrome and dietary issues. Hairball syndrome: Owners do not frequently brush their cats' hair, and fallen hair covers their bodies. Cats often lick themselves, groom themselves, and wash their faces. Cats' tongues have backward-facing spines, which cause them to swallow these fallen hairs, forming hairballs in their stomachs, leading to intestinal obstruction and vomiting. Diet: Suddenly changing cat food or feeding human food to cats can cause indigestion and vomiting.
Symptoms of hairball syndrome in cats:

Constipation occurs, with hard, dry stools containing some hair. The cat has poor energy, loss of appetite, rough and dull fur, and a swollen belly.
How to treat hairball syndrome in cats:
The fastest way to treat hairball syndrome in cats is to give them hair removal gel, which contains catnip and various plant extracts that can effectively help cats dissolve hairballs in their stomachs, allowing them to pass out smoothly and healthily. You can also feed your cat probiotics to help regulate their intestines, improve the intestinal environment, and alleviate vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite caused by hairball syndrome.
