Is it normal for a cat to vomit after eating hair removal cream?

It is normal for cats to vomit after taking hair removal cream. This is vomiting hair balls. If the cat vomits frequently and has other symptoms, it is not normal. Parents are best to take the cat to the hospital for a check-up. Diseases are treated promptly. Although hair removal cream can help cats expel hair balls, you should not eat too much as it will cause cats to be picky eaters.

Tip:

If parents don’t like to use hair removal cream, we can plant some cat grass at home instead. Remember that cats that are too young do not need it. Cats that vomit hair balls will only start to vomit hair balls when they are over six months old.
