Hi Everyone! 
I am new to the forums, so I first want to say, THANK YOU to everyone who provides all of the great feedback. 
So, my boy Shumba, who we've only had for about 3 weeks has just started puking today.
When we fed both of the kitties this morning, he really did not eat much (maybe a few nibbles), but prior to that he ate 2-3 treats (hairball treats). He is on round 3 for today with the puking and it didn't start until maybe 4PM this afternoon (it's now 8:30PM). First round, it was mushy, almost like food digested -- but it was the consistency of maybe apple sauce. Then, on round 2, his puke was still a little thicker, but mostly liquid. After this time, I gave him some "Tummy Soothe" by Natural Care for Cats (since it has helped my other cat when she has had upset stomachs). The last round of puking he had, was all liquid and yellow, mixed with the Tummy Soothe liquid.
After reading through the forums, I checked his skin and it still seems pretty elastic (I saw him run over to drink some water, but then he just turned around and walked away) and he doesn't seem warmer than usual.
Does anyone have maybe any additional tips to consider? Or, has anyone else experienced this and it has just gone away on it's own? I was thinking if he pukes again tonight, I should call the vet in the AM since he seems pretty lethargic too.
Just to note: He is in an indoor kitty and from what I can tell, he hasn't gotten into anything he shouldn't have been into. He also just got over an URI (but the Vet cleared for him to be out and about this weekend, since he's exceeded 10 days on meds)
Thanks!

I called the vet this morning and they had me bring him right in. Thankfully, she said that he doesn't have any blockages, but they aren't 100% sure what's up. They gave him an IV drip with some fluids and an anti-nausea shot, so hopefully he was just in a funk and maybe it was stink bug. No more basement for Shumba! If he is still in a funk tomorrow though and still puking, then we will have to bring him back in for X-Rays.
