I think he ate a piece of a plant leaf. I am not sure. Day b4 yesterday he was fine. Yesterday he was really lathargec and throwing up green bile. Today, he doesn't seem so out of it, but he is still not the same cat. If he did eat a piece of this plant and it did poison him, would it have killed him by now??? Is there anything I can give him? He is less than 6 months old. HELP!!! I don't want to lose him if I can help him. Anybody have a really good name for a pure white cat with a really laid back disposition??

Speaking from experience, it definitely sounds like he poisoned himself with something. It may not be a plant. If he ate a plant that was poisonous to him, he would've barfed at least pieces of it up. Unless he just chewed on a leaf and got the juices....in which case, you should be able to figure out which plant he was gnawing on. Well, you should be able to figure that out anyway as cats leave a pretty distinct pattern of destruction on plants.
My cat got into a plant that made him sick once....and he threw pieces of it up everywhere. But after the vomiting was over, he was fine. I knew what plant it was, got rid of it, and knew he'd be OK. Since you really don't know WHAT your cat got into, get him into a vet soon. Some poisoning incidents will effect a cat's health for life if not properly dealt with....sometimes even when they ARE properly dealt with. But a trip to vet will help ensure kitty's health and safety, and put your mind at ease.
I took care of an all white stray once....I called him Merlin.

Name your Cat "Doc" so you can walk in and always say "What's up Doc?" or Murphy, or JB for Jimmu Buffet.
Your cat should be out of the danger zone and appears to have thrown up most of the plant at this point -- the most important thing you could do for him is to know if the plant he ate was actually toxic to pets or not. Sometimes ordinary grass and leaves (non toxic) get spit back up in foamy greenish vomit. Also make sure to keep your cat indoors so you will always know he hasn't eaten a sick bird or a mouse who has ingested rat posion or bad meat from the garbage.
Good luck with your baby!!

I would take him to a vet. Most house plants are poisonous to cats. I have seen cats die from certain plants. Get him to the vet right away better be safe than sorry!

You definately need to call a Vet. You need a professional. Don't waste any time, call them after hours if you have too. A cat that young shouldn't be sick like that. Something definately is wrong. How about a name for your cat: Zero. Since it's white, it's a zero. No color. Laid back.

Go to the vet ASAP. I spent thousands of dollars on a cat with kidney failure caused by some sort of poisoning (nothing that I could even find in my house). After two years of dialysis, we had to put her to sleep. Kitties are very susceptible to poisoning from things we don't even think of. I think mine possibly drank the toilet water when the cleaning lady had cleaner in it.
Do not wait, take your cat in now.

You need to watch his behavior until the morning, and you need to call the vet first thing in the morning. Tell the vet what plants you have in your house, they also need to know if your cat is indoor or outdoor. Watch for the color if his urine, and if he is still having regular bathroom visits.
