Mr. Softie's tummy has been bothering him again and I can't get him to the vet anytime soon. Every couple of days he throws up stomach acid and his poops are very runny. If any other hexbear out there has experience with a cat like this, is there any food you recommend?

What are you currently feeding him? You can try putting him on a bland diet which is just like poached chicken and rice but that's only a short term solution. If it helps you would probably want to slowly start introducing different ingredients to see what could be causing the issues.

Also if you can try spreading out feedings more and doing a few small meals a day rather than 1-2 big ones. Obviously not feasible for everyone so YMMV

Iams dry food with chicken.

Yeah echoing what other people said it's gonna be a bit of trial and error but switching it up to some sensitive stomach food wouldn't hurt. Adding wet food to his diet may help as well.
