My 5-month-old cat vomits clear liquid then acts normal. What's wrong?

Question

My black Bombay cat who is about 5 months old. He has a very healthy appetite and is very energetic and loves to play. He eats a combination of wet and dry food. The problems is that for about 2 weeks now he has vomited about 3 times. He vomits violently until all he has to vomit is frothy clear liquid. Then he lies down and is quite for about 5 hours then he's back to his happy self. He is an indoor mostly cat. What can this be? Please help, I love this cat dearly!! Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 21 days old | 8 lbs

That's definitely concerning. Bombay could have something stuck in his intestines, an intestinal parasite, or even a metabolic problem. I would recommend getting him to the clinic this week for an exam and some x-rays to see if they can find a cause. He could also have vomited once because of eating something strange or a virus, and the vomiting itself irritated his stomach so he keeps vomiting - sometime treatment with fluids and an anti-vomiting medication is all that is needed to settle these guys down, but it's important to do testing first to make sure nothing else is going on. Good luck!
