I brought my cat to a new house with another cat, the cat who lived there first doesn't like him and hisses and meows whenever she sees him, hes been throwing up a couple times a day since he got here, the first time i thought it was due to the friskys wet food i gave him but that was 2 days ago, should i be worried?

I’m sorry you and Simba are dealing with this. Diarrhea in cats can be caused by several things including food changes, eating certain plants, animals or toxins outside , and parasites to name a few. I would have his veterinarian evaluate him. You may want to bring a sample of the diarrhea in with you to your appointment in case they want to check it for intestinal parasites. They will be able to help sort out with is causing his stomach and intestinal upset and can prescribe medication to help also if indicated. In the meantime, you can offer some vet bland food to see if that helps. An example would be Ferber or beechnut chicken baby food. I hope simba is feeling better very soon!
