Why is my cat vomiting clear mucus, but his belly isn't sore?

Question

I submitted a question just a little while ago about my cat vomiting clear thick mucous. I just wanted to also note that I've gently palpated his abdomen and it doesn't seem to be distended not overly tender to touch. There were no palpable masses either.

Thanks for the additional information. The fact that is abdomen is not painful or distended is a good sign and hopefully he will start feeling better soon. If the vomiting continues than he will need to be examined by your vet. Forgot to mention in the other post that you should take a stool sample if you take him to the vet so it can be tested for parasites, especially if he goes outside. Some parasites can cause vomiting so it should be ruled out.
