Q: I had a stomach virus the other day and right when I started feeling better, my cat barfed and then the next day he barfed two more times. I think he might have got it from me. I know this is gross but when I was barfing he was sniffing it. When he barfed the first time, we thought that since he just ate and was running around a lot, maybe it upset his stomach. But then the next morning he barfed two more times.

A: Stomach viruses are very species-specific. New things are discovered all the time in medicine, but there are currently no known human stomach viruses that affect cats.
Hope you are both feeling better.
