Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bagheera. I would recommend that he sees his veterinarian to determine not only the cause of vomiting, but as to why his pupils are dilated and not responding. Cats will typically foam at the mouth of they taste something bitter. Is there any chance of him eating something that he shouldn't have? Human medication, household cleaner, etc? This could certainly cause the symptoms you are seeing. I hope this information helps!
