thanks for the advice everyone! he seems to be doing ok today. he looked sad all night last night, but was fighting with the pup again this morning. i have my fiance keeping an eye on the kitty today while im at work with dexter to give the kitty a little break! lol
tommy (the cat) is around 6 or 7 years old and is long haired. he never had a hair ball before but i suppose it would make sense. the puppy throws up cat hair about once a week because he chews on the cat so much! lol.

I say this because my cat was thowing up hairballs but eating and drinking fine but her breath could kill you, I finally saw something in the back of her throat(after much fighting) I took her to the vet and they had to surgically remove a hairball the had wrapped around the back of her tongue and had hardened. |
this is great advice and i will be smelling his breath. that sounds like an awful thing for a poor kitty (and you) to go through!
tommy says "thanks for your help everyone! MEOW MEOW!)
