Poor guy. If he continues to vomit or is also really lethargic, has pale gums or is breathing abnormally, then that indicates he is highly unstable and needs to go to an ER vet. However, if he is still alert, active and mentally sound, he should be ok to try a bland diet of tuna and white rice to hopefully settle his stomach. He may have an infection however so have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning if he continues to have these symptoms. I hope your kitty Elliot feels better soon!
