My cat is acting as though his stomach is upset. He is strictly an inside cat. He may have chewed on some leaves of some tulips I had in the house.

    Yea, the cause may be the ingestion of tulips. Tulips are one of those attracting plants that are poisonous to animals. It is safe for humans but toxic to animals. The toxic portion of this plant is mainly the bulb (which is often confused with onion) and then the stem and leaves and least the flowers.
    Signs and Symptoms:
    After involuntary ingestion of tulips the following signs and symptoms may occur;
    1- Drooling,
    2- Central nervous system depression,
    3- Gastrointestinal irritation,
    4- Cardiac issues,
    5- Convulsions.

    Treatment:
    As the symptoms is only the upsetting of the stomach; with no major other conditions, so better to restrict the cat to have an access to the tulips. Or keep the tulip in such an area that can not be reachable by the cat.
    If the condition still persists, the do administer some good purgative.
    Or an easier and the good one is to give castor oil about 15 mL in warm milk 30 mL.  Mix both and give at once.
