Poor Monkey! Just like humans, cats can vomit for many reasons. Since this has been going on for three days, I recommend to have Monkey examined by the veterinarian. Bring in a fresh stool sample for parasites testing. The most common reasons are parasites, bacterial over growth or eating something he shouldn't have. Vomiting can also be caused by more serious conditions like poisoning or intestinal blockage. Monkey needs a physical exam to begin figuring out what's wrong. I hope it's nothing serious and that he starts feeling better quickly.
