Hello. I am afraid I need to disagree with you concerning George is not acting sick. He is the classic definition of a very sick cat. Vomiting, excessive water intake, eating strange material ( called pica ), & weight loss screams that poor George may have some serious issues going on. He really needs to be seen, & soon.
