Vomiting

Going to the vet, for probably hydration and an x ray.

It looks like they got into something, we don't know what but one kitty seems somewhat better but our Shelly is still sick.

Watch to see if they are trying to eat any plants (let them go outside and watch them too)

If they DO eat greens, they are trying to throw up, otherwise, try a different cat feed so it gets other nutrients. Sometimes it could be that.

We don't have any inside plants.
I brought in some grass but nobody wanted it.
They are inside cats.
We feed them a variety of canned and crunchy food, as much "pure" as possible but they like some of the canned stuff that is parts-is-parts too, and sometimes they rebel at "health" food.

Thanks for the tips, we tried lots of stuff and things seem better. I suspect a bad can of food, but the cause will remain a mystery.

Canned food which includes 'by-products' isn't all that bad. Think about it: a cat outdoors will eat a whole mouse, a whole squirrel, a whole bird.....think there aren't a few "by-products" included there? Just sayin'

The lump could be hard feces that hadn't passed through. So it either broke up or just moved along. Constipation can cause vomiting too. The other cat may have just been a coincidence or even empathy!
