My 2 year old indoor cat throws up food about 1 every 3 weeks? Is this normal?

Any tips about what I could do about this? She is a long hair tri-color tabby. A little bit overweight. Indoors only. Eats the same dry food; don't try different brands cause I knows cats can be picky and get upset stomaches easily.
Answers:
she may be getting overfed! is she puking it or just moving it from her dish? bring her to a vet
could be hairballs
Mine will do that is she eats to fast. Try giving her a smaller quantity and feeding more often. If you think her tummy is upset you can giver her pepto bismol, but if its only once every three weekes I wouldn't worry too much, just ask your vet next time you are in.
Talk to a vet because she can have a diesase. Plus your cat can get sick from just eating dry food. I read that dry food all the time could make your cat have kidney stones. But that is urinary. Also try an indoor weight food so she won't get so big.
it's not normal,feed her more with meat or dry food and milk.
Ensure that she is getting enough vitamins they have some that is in a tube and they like it to. The throwing up is probably hairball problems with the new vitamin that should taper off.
could be furballs, but be safe %26 take her to the vet
my cat never did that you should take her to a vet or change the type of food and amounts of food u give the cat
You might be overfeeding her we feed our cats 2wice a day one because theyre fat and two because we dont want that happening bring it to a vet they could give you some advice or even give you some better food(because it could be the food) or they could give u medicine hope this helps!!
It doesn't sound abnormal to throw up once every three weeks. She may be getting rid of fur balls. My cats sometimes chew on plants to help them throw up.
My cat throws up occasionally when he's eaten too quickly but I think if I was you I'd check with the vet just to make sure there's nothing else wrong.
I have a cat that was doing the same so we took her to the vet. The vet couldn't find anything wrong and suggested Science Diet for Sensitive Stomaches. She hasn't vomited since we switched her to this!
It's probably hair she's bringing up. Mine does the same thing. They have to get rid of it somehow, so don't bother to change the food.it won't make any difference.
hair ball causes that get some hairball treatment or keep
a grassy plant around to chew on
