Vomiting can be a result of something minor, like a cat consuming her meal too quickly, or it can be a sign of a much more serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Usually, a cat vomits because she ate something disagreeable, ate too much, or played too soon after dinner. Vomiting can also be associated with gastrointestinal or systemic disorders, or foreign bodies. Since your cat has been vomiting for a week, I would be concerned that her vomiting is more likely due to a GI or systemic disorder, or a foreign body. I would recommend taking her into your vet to be checked out as soon as possible.
