Vomiting two or three times a month, sometimes hairballs, sometimes kibble or yellow fluid with white foam; eats but never gains weight
There are many causes of vomiting in cats, including indigestion, hairballs, parasite infection, and others. Based on your description, these are the main considerations. When too much hair builds up in a cat, it usually vomits hairballs; the owner can regularly give hairball paste or cat grass to help the cat pass the hair.

Furthermore, since the cat never gains weight no matter how much it eats, also consider whether it has a parasite infection; regular deworming is recommended.
