We have had our 2 rescue cats for 2 months now and all was going fine with tinned food till one of them started to be sick so i switched their food to a dry one (Whiskers) and they have stopped being sick, at first they were ok with it but now they seem to be loosing interest in eating it and will just come back to the bowl to graze.
I have tried giving them scraps from our tea but they are not interested.
Can you suggest another dry food that can be mixed with water/gravy to make it a little more interesting/palatable?
Thanks.

Acutally it can just be one type of wet food that makes them vomit. Beautiful moggy girl vomits Felix and Whiskas, but keeps down Waitrose own.

Our cat vomits anything with maize in it. You could feed them on chicken for a week and see if it makes a difference.

You can't feed it long term though cos they need taurine.

thanks fluffycloud but have tried them on chicken and they have just turned their noses up at it!!!!
Have bought some Iams and James Welloved dry food to try them on that.They are not impressed with Iams so far Hmm

Arden Grange biscuits work well with water. Failing that, you can get cat biscuits for cats with sensitive stomachs. I think Royal Canin do them.
