My cat is 5 1/2 years old. Over the last several days, she has been vomiting 4 times a day. Her food has not changed, though we did change the brand of litter last week. The vomit is mostly watery with few signs of food digested. In addition, she is slightly overweight since she is an indoor cat. She also has a strange habit of not enjoying her food if the kibbles are crumbs. Should we be very concerned and take her to a vet immediately?

Hi there, She may just have a bit of an upset tummy. The best thing would be to with hold food for 24 hours and then introduce small meals, this just gives the digestion chance to recover after all the vomiting. If the vomiting continues i would take her to the vet and they may do a routine blood sample to check that all her organs functioning as the should be. Obviously if she is over weight then she is at an increased risk of medical problems, and it might be advantageous to get the weighed regularly. most vets offer a check up with a veterinary nurse and they can advise how to keep her active and how to monitor her food and weight. Hope this helps, Selena
