I am very sorry to hear that your cats are experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. There are a number of potential causes of such clinical signs, including dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, parasite infestation, infection, and ingestion of a toxin or poison. Because you have only noticed these signs over the course of a few hours I would continue to monitor Them at home. Here is what you can do to help them; Rest Their gastrointestinal tract by holding back food for a few hours. Then you can continue with a bland and easily digested food of the boiled chicken breast, and provide plenty of fresh water. You can also give low sodium chicken broth to increase fluid intake, or flavourless pedialyte mixed 50/50 with water. If They do not improve, have profuse vomiting or diarrhoea, you notice fresh blood, they seems lethargic, in pain or depressed I would advise a trip to the veterinarian. I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Your cats feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
