Vet tonight if you're that worried.
All cats do a bit of puking - it goes with the territory - but not all day.

How old is your cat? How often has it been vomitting? I would get it to the vet as soon as you can really just to be on the safe side

DO NOT TRY TO FORCE FLUIDS DOWN ITS THROAT!!!!! If there is anything causing a blockage in the intestine you will probably kill it, also if there is
any toxic substance involved water can intensify the problem. TAKE THE CAT TO THE VET!!!
Must try harder

aww hope she's alright
she had to have loads of her insides taken out couldn't find her for a few days, eventually she kind of staggered in, covered in fleas and
ticks, and had all kinds of puss coming out her back end had a really really nasty infection in her womb and had to have evrything taken out vet
said had she been taken in 4 hours later she would have died

Glad to hear your mogs ok
Cats are funny things - quite hardy to most things but very sensitive to some things (particularly anything even remotely toxic)
My cat has a habit of fighting, and has a current foe (we don't even know if it;s even another cat) thats a biter. We have him back at the vets
every 3-4 months at the moment getting the absesses that come as a result of the bites drained and anti-biotics.
Thankfully, they've invented a slow release anti-biotic jab now - my cat used to be a bit, well, ferral, and giving tablets often results in
long (literally hours) of wrestling and usually blood (mine) being spilt.
As you can see from my avatar though, he's nowt but a middle aged furr pillow these days (wish he'd realise it and stop with the fighting
though!).

Had to have my cat put down a couple of months back, she was only 5 but was riddled with cancer (another thing cats tend to be prone to). You do get
very attached to them.
We found her as a starving ~6 month old kitten early on new years morning as we left my dads house. It was bitterly cold and she had been using my
dad MG Midget as shelter, as he'd cut out part of the floor pan ready to weld a new panel in and the whole car had a tarp over it. Knocked on
doors and put a notice up in local shop but no-one claimed her, some scum bag had thrown her out I reckon.

RSPCA Vet?
Strange you should mention vets. Recently saw Mark Evans (remember him - Discovery Channel, building a Sumo Cobra, and various other machines).
Now - he's Chief vet at the RSPCA!!
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

I'm very sorry to hear that. We had to have one of our cats put to sleep recently too, she was 17 and basically her time had come. Fortunately
the other one, also 17, is still going strong.

It's nice to know that we are all softies underneath! 7 years ago when I lost my sister in a car accident we offered to take the two persians.
After years of owning big dogs I wasn't too impressed with the idea but it is amazing how quickly you get attached to them. They were both about
10 years old when we got them and we had to have the female put to sleep about 18 months ago due to kidney failure and the male was put to sleep 10
days ago due to the same reason. They were both house cats and never really did much but the departure of the last one has left quite a large hole.
I'm really feeling it this week as my wife and daughter are away on holiday and he generally used to come for a mooch around the garage when I
was in there.

It was a double whammy as we had to put our dog down at the same time, he was 13 but he had advanced arthritis in his hips and he'd been getting
increasingly incontinent. Vet suggested that it was only going to get worse so though it for the best before his quality of life completely went.
Many tears flowed that day.
On the positive side we now have a lovely Maine Coon kitten, he's 4 months old and already as big as the previous cat. He's going to be a
monster!

02GF74 that's a beautiful looking beast! I didn't know there was so much love for the cat here to be honest!
The Mrs was originally wanted a Bengal , but we found a Maine Coon breeder very close by and they are supposed to be a more placid breed. Ours
isn't 100% pure bred, it has a small amount of Rag doll in him apparently...he probably ate it 
Cat attacking tin of baked beans. Hopefully the beans give a sense of scale. He was
just 4 months old when I took this.
Footballing cat. This is my daughters ball, but he much prefers it to the normal small
cat toys.
Kangaroo legs? I can't help thinking he has a touch of the Australian marsupial
in those rear legs.
The weird thing is he loves water. He's enjoys standing in a sink with the tap on batting the steam of water and getting his paws soaked, and
he often dips his toys into his water bowl before playing with them, which is apparently a Maine Coon "feature".
He a lovely cat generally, but it's easy to forget he's a kitten due to his size. That is until he does kitten-like things like running
up your back whilst you are knelt down doing something. That hurts!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
