Here's the background. For the past two weeks, we had another cat living with us, apart from my cat Memphis. My roommate's girlfriend was moving and needed to keep her cat somewhere calm and safe while she packed and moved. The first week was fine, thecats got along well. However, I needed to take Memphis to the vet last week, and the second I brought him back, the other cat started acting aggressive towards him. The other cat is timid and has high anxiety, so he was looking to be the dominant cat. The other cat finlly left yesterday, because he would constantly attack Memphis and force him under my bed (Memphis NEVER does that, but he's been acting really strange since this happened).

I know that was a lot of useless info, but I believe that may be the cause of the recent problems I've been having with Memphis. For instance, Memphis has thrown up water twice since this aggressive behavior started, and a couple days ago he started sneezing. The sneezing was fine, but last night I was woken up multiple times because he was having a sneezing fit. Like I said, he was at the vet's last wednesday, and they checked out everything and said he was healthy.

Is the vomiting and sneezing from anxiety, and will it recede now that the other cat is gone? I was getting concerned, because Memphis was displaying 5 symptoms of CRF (nausea, licking lips, vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite) but he's as energetic as ever, so I was thinknig it was mental rather than physical.

About the sneezing, I did buy febreze and febrezed my matress for the first time since Memphis has been around, so I was thinking it might be the strong odor or febreze particles getting in his sinus.
