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.
