If a cat vomits undigested cat food and yellow liquid, and its appetite is normal, it's generally considered to be due to eating too quickly or gastritis. Treatment suggests giving the cat oral broad-spectrum antibiotics specifically formulated for pets to control the gastrointestinal inflammation, along with medications to promote the recovery of the digestive tract mucosa and protect the gastrointestinal tract. If the cat has a strong appetite and doesn't vomit afterward, you can feed it small amounts of soaked cat food cereal, following the principle of small, frequent meals.
