Only a veterinarian can tell you exactly why your particular cat is vomiting frequently. Here are several possible explanations for frequent vomiting.
Sometimes, when rapid changes in the diet are made, intestinal upset may result in vomiting and/or diarrhea. Expulsion of hairballs may also be a cause for vomiting. In addition, many times cats will vomit if they overeat or eat too rapidly. This may be more likely if your cat really likes his food.
When changing a cat's diet, we recommend adding a small amount of the new product gradually, increasing the new product and reducing the current product being fed until the cat is totally on the new product. This changeover should take approximately seven to ten days and should help ease the transition from one product to another. By changing the diet in this manner, it is unlikely that intestinal upset will occur.
If your cat is overeating, try serving measured amounts to your cat, and serve your cat small, multiple feedings throughout the day. For example, instead of feeding 1 cup per day, feed your cat 1/3 cup, three times per day.
If your cat eats too rapidly, you might try spreading the food out over a larger surface area. To do this, you might try feeding from a 9" x 13" pan, rather than a standard feeding bowl, which will slow your cat's pace of eating.
lots of luck.

If you were vomiting every day for a month would you see a doctor? Well, a cat who is vomiting daily means something is wrong and shouldn't be questionably taken to a VET. If it's all liquid and there's no hairballs this is serious.
Please, PLEASE call a vet and make an appointment. If you value your cat's life as much as your own take your kitty to the doctor.

Your cat has been vomiting daily for a month, and you still haven't called your vet?!

Go to the vet- like you should have 1 month ago!!
Take a sample of the vomit with you - they may want/be able to do some tests to help the diagnosis.
If you haven't taken her to vet because you can't afford it, PLEASE call your local ASPCA or shelter! They can help your kitty at little or no cost to you.

I agree with the others, seek a vet's attention. Your cat may have some sort of stricture in its esophgus or someother gastrointestinal ailment

You should keep her in a confined area and control her feeding. See if she continues to vomit. She may be eating stuff that she finds laying around.
