Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 23 days old | 2 lbs

Hello! We just got a pure bread ragdoll cat. He is 8 weeks old. He had thrown up 3 times and had diarrhea Once. We just got him today and he is a little scared. We wonder maybe if he ate a little of his cat litter? Thanks!

It could be a change in diet if you are feeding Hank something different from what he had before. It could also be he has an illness. Vomiting and diarrhea together are pretty serious. You need to take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
