Clyde needs to see his veterinarian. Just like with humans, many things can make cats threw up and not eat. This can range from a parasitic infestation to an intestinal blockage. Any pet who is not eating for 24 hours needs to be examined by the doctor as dehydration and other complications can set in quickly. Have Clyde examined today. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
