I would first make sure that he is not eating too much or too fast. This is a common reason for a cat to regurgitate or vomit straight after a meal. You can try feeding less food at a time and see if that helps. Try feeding just a spoonful of food every 15 minutes and see if that helps. If it does, then you may consider purchasing a slow-feeder product at the pet store. Regurgitation can indicate a problem like esophageal stricture, so if this persists, then I'd recommend having him evaluated by a vet. It's important to differentiate between true regurgitation and vomiting; so if this continues, it would be good to take video of it and show it to your vet. Below is a link to more information about vomiting in cats that will help you determine the seriousness of his current condition. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/vomiting-in-cats I hope that helps and Batman gets better soon.
