Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 6 years and 4 months old | 25 lbs
My cat is about 6 or 7 years old, 100% indoor. Last night he through up about 6 times and now this morning he seems really tired and just... sick. His breathing seems a bit shallow too. What should I do?

Poor Junior! This sounds very concerning. Vomiting 6 times overnight suggests that something is seriously wrong, so I would recommend taking him in to the vet today for an exam - especially since his breathing is shallow and he's acting sick and lethargic. Your veterinarian can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
