My cat threw up, was lethargic. Can cats get stomach bugs like humans?

Question

Sake' had one nasty barf where he yowled then barfed half digested food. He was letagic for like a minute but back to his normal self shortly after. He barfed a bit of clear stomach acid about 4 other times. But never changed his eating or other habits. And seems perfectly fine today. We dont have house plants and all his toys are intact. Can cats get stomach bugs? Like humans? Pic to see patiant. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 13 years and 10 months old

Any pet vomiting beyond 24 hours should be examined by the veterinarian. Just like humans, there are many many causes of vomiting and some of the causes can be very serious. I'm unsure of the timeline of the vomiting for Sake. I always recommend to play it safe when in doubt and have Sake examined today. Here is a link about vomiting which may have helpful information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/most-common-causes-of-vomiting-in-cats/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-cats/ I hope this helps and that Sake feels better soon!
