Yes, it sure could be making him sick. If he is acting fine in every other way then I suggest you just stop with the canned food for now. If you want to try again at a later date then maybe try a different brand/flavor of food. If he is acting sick on top of vomiting then I suggest you get Simba to your vet for an exam now. You may want to consider feeding him a probiotic for the next week or so to help with settling his system. You can use any probiotic made for cats - no human products or dairy. http://www.allivet.com/p-1890-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-cat-supplement-box-of-30.aspx Hope this helps.
