I strongly recommend having Short Tale evaluated by a veterinarian. There can be any number of things that can cause persistent vomitting but it may be life threatening. If you are unable to take the cat to a vet and he owner can't or won't, I suggest checking with local animal control or humane societies to see if there are options to help this kitty. Good luck and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
