Poor kitties! It could be one of them has a GI illness or this vomiting could be related to a medical disease such as kidney failure, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in their normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, they vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, they will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
