We tried a lot to keep her from throwing up. She mainly does it in the morning because she doesn't chew her dry food. Feeding little bits makes her upset (and throw up) or she goes after Lexie's food or she lashes out at Lexie. We now have found dry food that has really small chunks which makes it harder for her to wolf down fast and it digest more easily, since then she has been throwing up less.
Every once in a while she still has a throwing up period. This one might be triggered by my mother going through all the boxes with books and stuff that came from my grandmother's flat. They have been standing in the hallway for ages and Nikita doesn't like it when you clean up (too busy) or when you move things.

Despite living in the inner city that is riddles with mice and rats we hardly have a mouse problem. When Lexie catches a mouse she eats it and leaves the tail. Nikita thinks mice are toys and brings them to the livingroom to "play" with them and when they stop moving she loses interest. Luckily neither of this has happened in quite some time!
