Poor Ziggy! He looks like a very handsome kitty! Chronic vomiting is definitely a cause for concern, especially if an animal is not eating or having lower energy levels. It can be caused by foreign bodies, toxin ingestion, dietary indiscretion, or certain parasites. I recommend having Ziggy examined by a vet as soon as possible, especially if he is not eating, having diarrhea, or lethargic. I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have and hope all is well with Ziggy!

It sounds as Ziggy is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet urgently, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
