At our new home he has his own room with all that he needs to be comfortable. He was so stressed out for the first few days he hid in the closet and would not even respond to me. He has since come out of the closet but remains very stressed. I purchased a pheremone collar that was supposed to calm him down, especially when the other cats came to the door. I didn't mention that I put a mesh screen door in place of the bedroom door so the cats could see each other but still be seperated for the transition time.
Just over a week later ( to date ) My cat now has full blown diarrhea and is not able to keep any of his food down. He has moments of affection with me and stays calm most of the time but I am getting concerned about the diarrhea and vomiting at this point. I removed the collar 2 days ago in case he was having an allergic reaction.
I need suggestions on whether this is collar or stress related and if there is any natural remedy I can use to help him stay calm and be more comfortable.
He has never had a single health problem before this move.

Irish, if I were you I would take my poor kitty to a holistic vet. They can give your kitty accupuncture and herbs. I would get some plug in Feliway's and there is a Rescue Remedy by Bach Flowers for Pets.
