Thank you for submitting your question regarding Holmes. He will need to see his veterinarian to determine the cause of his vomiting and decreased appetite. Cats can become quite ill from going without food for too long. So encourage him to eat. Depending on the cause of his symptoms, the sensitive stomach may be a good option for him in the future. He may not be eating it now as he is not feeling well. He may need blood and urine testing. I hope this information helps!
