It can be hairballs, allergies or lots of things. One of my cats threw up everyday, and I soon found out that he had feline leukemia. Is your cat eating anything that he/she shouldn't be eating? Is your cat still eating like normal? Are there any more signs or symptoms that something is wrong? I would advise you to take your cat to the vet asap to get tests ran. I wish you the best of luck!

Have you put any type of flea products on your cat? This can upset their stomachs. Also as the above poster suggest hairballs will cause this. Look through the vomit even for a small amount of hair. Normally they will throw up until they expel the hairball from their stomach, sometimes this can take a couple of days, It could be quite large. Hairball formula food can help with this problem. Good Luck

Also, what are you feeding them? I've been told that fish can upset cat stomaches, and my own cat did seem to decrease how much she pukes. Stress and excitement seem to make her throw up as well.
