My cats vomit, have diarrhea, lick things. Should I give vitamins?

Question

I have two cats (one is almost 5, and one almost 2). For the past few days they have been vomiting and have diarrhea. I have also noticed one of my cats is licking random things which i know is a sign that he’s lacking nutrients? They are otherwise acting normal/healthy. I think the cause is the sudden weather change. Is it safe to give my cat vitamins without getting tests done first? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Hi there. I would be concerned about a possible toxin ingestion or something along those lines if both of your cats are suddenly vomiting and having diarrhea. Pica-the term for a condition you have described for an odd craving for nutrients can be a sign of many things, and with multiple signs it is honestly best to see your veterinarian for further testing before proceeding. I hope this helps and that they feel better soon!
