You know how people see someone else throw up and it might cause them to throw up as well. Or seeing something gross enough to ruin their appetite or will to finish a meal, are other animals susceptible to that as well?

I don't know that animals throw up for the same reasons because they don't have as much cognition. Animals usually throw up as a defense (getting rid of something potentially physically harmful to them, like poison).

that's an amusing question. Who knows, really, what all is going on inside the heads of animals, but I cannot ever remember seeing any animal act like they were disgusted, except maybe from acrid odors (skunk or onion type smells), and that is more of a pain (it burns) response than anything.
I've seen them EAT some pretty disgusting stuff that for sure would cause me to vomit.
