Hello, sorry to hear about Nyx. Yes, cats can get motion sickness and will vomit. Car rides may also be very stressful for kittens and stress itself may make them nauseous. For now, you can watch him at home for any more vomiting. If Nyx continues to vomit then you should have him evaluated by your veterinarian. If Nyx is otherwise acting like his normal self, then he should be ok to be monitored at home. Hope this helps.
