Boomer ended up with a case of roundworm. I can imagine very little that could be more disgusting than finding a worm twisting and turning while sticking out of your cat's... anus. Sick.
Medicine seems to be quickly helping. He had been throwing up after every meal, and his stomach was very firm. In two days since the administration of medicine, he's been "going" regularly. Kosh is also grooming him more frequently for some odd reason (perhaps sensing that Boomer is "recovering" or something). We seem to have caught it early as I've not found any further evidence in his stool since the initial medication (he gets another dose in 8 days).
Apparently humans can get this from the animal as well. So, yeah... no cuddling with Boomer for at least a couple weeks. Bleargh!!
