Well, Sugarfoot is definitely the barfer, but in the process we noticed that Ceejay has a distinctly bloated belly and... um... other inflammation I won't detail.
Guess it's vet time. I'm okay, dealing with the stress by reminding myself I'm less those cats' parent than I am their caretaker, friend, and caseworker.
There's nothing I can do for them immediately (though Peg is looking into contacting vets later today, hopefully for a Monday appointment), so the best thing I can do is stay calm and professional, get on with my day such as it is and act when there's an opportunity to act.
Still can't help worrying about the critters. Ceejay more than Sugarfoot now, though this does make three days in a row this has happened.
I knew the job was an emotional attachment risk when I took it. I have every reason so far to think a vet trip, stressful though it might get for everybody, will fix this in the long run. And if it can't, I'm prepared to make whatever decisions have to be made. I need to be OK, so I will, right?

@zebratron2084 Yes you will.
You have handled everything wonderfully, thus far.
This is just part of the kitty- caregiver gig.

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah. *hug* We got an appointment for him AND apparently found a vet who's quite used to "uh... this is not quite our cat and they don't 100% trust us, can we kinda just have a 'we get there when we get there' appointment?"
Still scared for the little dude and (far far less so) the potential expenses, but this also gives us some hope that we'll figure out why he's been a little weird and distant from day one, maybe even get him a better standard of living if he gets thru whatever this is...
