Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor Snowflake. If you gave him too much fluid, that can be very serious. Plus, I see he is an older cat and vomiting can have very serious causes. I think it's best for him to see a vet now, so I recommend you take him into one immediately. Best of luck.
