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.

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.

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