How you handle this all depends on what the cat is vomiting up. If it is food that has not been digested it could either be a case of eating the food too fast or it could be an allergy to an ingredient in the pet food. Try placing a large rock or paperweight in the bowl to slow down their rate of consumption first, then if that doesn't work try purchasing a limited ingredient diet (ie: rabbit/green pea). If it is hairballs you will probably want to add cat laxative that will help push those hairballs through the system.

Use a hairball remedy or a hairball prevention cat food formula.

First of all, make sure that the cat is not ill--if so, please take it to the vet.

If it's just hairballs, you can use the remedy I used with the old cat I used to have. She'd throw up hairballs every day, and my aunt told me to dab a bit of vaseline on her paw. Vaseline is the main ingredient in hairball remedies and is much cheaper. Her first instinct was to lick the stuff off of her paws--it eased the digestion of the hairballs. It worked like a charm.

Still keep an eye on them to make sure that nothing else is going on. If the puking stops, great.

Grass is really good for a cats digestion. So if the issue is with a sensitive tummy try giving it a little grass.
