My moms cat is a 4 year old tuxedo. Recently she said he has been acting funny, and looking skinny. She said at least once a day he is throwing up a clear liquid. . . any ideas??? He is the friendliest cat ever, and lately he has been a little jumpy. Just not himself. . .

My first thought would be worms, but only a vet visit can tell you for sure! Has he been wormed lately?

Sounds like a vet check is definitely in order and possibly a blood test. It could be any one of many things.

It could be anything. The cat needs to be seen by the vet and have a thorough check up. Losing weight and throwing up is not a good sign.

Exactly... If the last vet visit was a yr or more ago ... i would ask for basic blood work , fecal and urine tests
