My kitten is about 9 months old. She has been doing fine on her hard food IAMS. I have not changed the food. Just recently she has been throwing up her food and urinating on my moms bed. She has never done this. We just recently moved her litter box and changed some things around the house. Is she acting out and trying to tell us she is not happy or is she sick?

If you are not using a hairball remedy with her that could have something to do with the vomiting. A petroleum based one such as Petromalt or Laxatone should work.
The urination issue may be due to the moving of her box and you might try moving it back.
However both issues may be due to a urinary tract problem such as an infection or bladder stones or crystals.
So I'd start with a vet check up to see if she is acting the way she is due to a health problem.
Hope this helps you!
