Please get to the vet ... Cats can dehydrate quickly.. Do you know how to check for dehydration??

Is the cat eating , peeing , pooping and drinking as normal?? Normal level of playfulness?

I agree with above.....Vomiting several times a day what looks like stomach acids and, is not good. You need to take the kitty to the vet. It could be a symptom of anything from a parasite to a foreign body in the digestive tract, and more.....

Did the vet mention how to check for dehydration? One way is you can pull up their skin on the scruff of their neck, and if the skin doesn't seem elastic, that is usually a sign of dehydration....also, it's not a bad idea to check the gums to make sure the color looks good - should be medium pink...not pale, and not too pink almost purple looking. If the cat is just vomiting bile, but not food - it could be that kitty has an overproduction of bile, which would only affect her when she has an empty stomach...just an idea....good luck - hope she feels better soon!
