Hi, here via friendsfriends list.
I have a lot of cats, and in my experience, a cat eating and then systematically vomiting undigested food, is tracheitis (hope this is the right translation). Even if they don't have a cough. Based on the fact your cat seems healthy and doesn't show any other symptom, plus her being constantly hungry (which is normal since she can't keep her food down), I'd say it shouldn't be anything serious. Tracheitis practically makes her throat really sensitive, since she is hungry she probably wolfs her food down, this makes her trachea itch and causes the vomit. Try to make her eat slowly, say, a spoonful of her food. Then wait 10-15 minutes and another spoonful. This should keep the itch down and allow her to eat. As for permanently solving the problem, I'm sorry to say that a vet is necessary. Giving her a little food at a time and all, could help her get nutrition while you wait for the vet appointment, but tracheitis needs antibiotics and antiinflammatories.
Hope she gets better,
Jadzia
