Answer 1

Let her eat it then. Take her to the vet if you're really worried.  

Answer 2

This is common for cats eating an inappropriate diet of dry food.

What happens is that your cat eats the correct amount of dry food to fill its stomach. Cats don't ever “chew” their food. They eat the pieces whole anyway. As the food heads towards the stomach it begins to leach moisture from the cat and the food expands. If this happens to fast and before the food makes it to the stomach, the cat vomits up full "puffed up" pieces of food.

This can be prevented by feeding wet food as nature intended. Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. It's completely species inappropriate.

All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they don't need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol' house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats.

So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it’s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl.

Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), bladder stones, kidney stones,  urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions.

Overall,  wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs… not our cats.

I'll say it again, go to the vet.

You are talking about putting your cat to sleep before you even know what's wrong with her when the problem could be as simple as hairballs.

Take her to the vet to have a checkup.
