Hi, sorry to hear about Lani. Vomiting is a non-specific signs that your pet is feeling ill. This could be caused by different problems either within his GI tract or outside of his GI tract. In young cats like Lani, a dietary indiscretion, ingestion of foreign material, or ingestion of a toxin are most likely. Other causes such as kidney disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, could also make him vomit but would not have such as fast progression. If Lani continues to vomit tonight, or if he develops lethargy, inappetence, or changes in his stool he should be evaluated by his veterinarian tonight. Hope this helps and best of luck.

It sounds as Lani 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 her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
