While occasional hairballs are common for cats, especially long-haired breeds, vomiting them twice in a week could indicate an issue. It suggests that your cat is ingesting a significant amount of fur, which might be due to excessive grooming, often a sign of stress, skin irritation (like fleas), or even pain. It could also point to underlying digestive issues where the hair isn't passing through the digestive tract as effectively. Routine grooming, a high-fiber diet, or specific hairball control diets/treatments can help. If it continues or is accompanied by other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite, a vet visit is recommended.
