Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 18 lbs

My pug is 2 years old, he has been throwing up for the past 2 days, it happens in the early mornings (3-6AM), first he throws up (2 times) his food, which looks like wet cat food? goes back to sleep and then he will throw up yellow stuff (3-4 times). He still wants to eat and drink water.

Vomiting could be a sign of gastritis due a bacterial or parasitic infection in the GI system or due to dietary indiscretion or pancreatitis. It could also be due to a gastric foreign body obstruction - meaning that something is stuck in his intestines causing a blockage. Given that the vomiting has been going on for more than 24 hours you should take Valentino to a veterinarian right away.
