Depending on the rug/fabric, after the solids are removed I'll sprinkle (or pile - depending on need) baking soda on top of the moist area.
It will absorb the moisture and if left long enough will form hard crust when dry that be be picked up and then vacuumed - without leaving a trace of the crime.
...and yes, it's usually within 2 feet of hard flooring.
I use old plastic cards (like a frequent shopper card) to scrape up the bulk. Let it dry and then brush out as much as I can. Then I use a liquid spot cleaner or enzymatic cleaner, depending on the circumstances.
The decision on where to vomit is completely based on how hard it will be for the cat's staff to clean up. So, between tile floor and carpet or sofa, they choose carpet or sofa. Between tile floor and dining room table, they climb to the table and vomit. However, if there is something on the table, such as school books or a letter from the IRS, they aim for the objects, as each will have to be cleaned individually, thus making the situation that much more of an ordeal. Of course, while the owner is on their hands and knees cleaning the grossness, the cat must meow loudly and incessantly, demanding to be fed, now that its tummy is empty.

Yes, letting it dry helped a lot.
Hee hee, isn't that the truth? The thing you want to protect from vomit will be first on the list as target. Once it was a corner of my IRS return. Sent it anyway.
Once we started feeding ours all raw meals... no more barfing. Meals stay down and hair balls go out the back end.
Kibble was THE WORST for daily barfing.

Be careful what you wish for. If it blends in too well, the only way you'll know it's there is when you step in it.
True! Has happened to me before....
my LR rug is a wool, deep brown with pale blue and burgundy. The barf is exactly the brown color....when I hear one of them starting to vomit, I run in there so I can see it. Otherwise, I have indeed stepped on it the barf without knowing it's there.
Oh the things we do for the loves of our lives....
