Those could be signs of a lot of things. Try giving her some petromalt (for hairballs) in case she is trying to get something up. If the vomitting continues she needs to go to the vet. Make sure she is getting enough water. Food isn't as vital as water, kitties dehydrate fast especailly young ones.

you need to take your cat to the vet. when an animal is sick and you don't know what's wrong with them you should allways take them to see the vet.

It's highly unlikely your cat has parvo. I would suggest taking him/her to the vet to find out for sure.

Petromalt is the name brand of a hairball formula. They have other kinds too at Wal-Mart and Petsmart.
