Ok my cat has been vomited around 4 times so far and I’m not sure what it is, it started as bile from what I looked up and progressed into some sort of mucus that’s yellow and is a solid not liquid he also had a white foam around his mouth after he vomited he casts normally afterward though i don’t know if I should really attach images of the vomit but if you need to I’ll send them

If Tom only vomited one time I would not be that concerned but multiple bouts of vomiting in a short period of time is very concerning. He really needs to be examined by a vet as soon as possible. Vomiting is a very vague symptom and does not point to any one disease process or illness. He needs to be examined and possibly some testing will be needed.
