The reason I ask is because I usually feed our siamese attack kittens wet food as a treat, however, lately we realized we have a puker. Our male gorges himself on the stuff and inevitably pukes it up. We have tried the wet food that looks like bits of cut up chicken or steak and we have tried the stuff that is like meaty paste and they definitely like the cut up variety… But our beloved puker cannot make up his mind which he will puke on and which he won’t… Does anyone have a similar problem with their feline owners? Which variety seems to have the least puking impact on them? I like the Friskies variety and the Royal Canin but aside from that we’re not sure… What about the organic stuff…anyone try that?
My cat had a serious vomiting problem for a looooong time. We switched her to Medi-cal Gastro, on our vet’s advice. It’s food for felines with sensitive tummies (the number one meat ingredient, IIRC, was pheasant). If your vet doesn’t have that, they probably carry something in that neighbourhood (Feline i/d or something).
Anyway, kitten doesn’t actually do anything but turn her nose up at anything but dry food. Both brands, though, make wet stuff, too.
Neither of our Overladies is a puker, so they split an envelope of whatever wet food was on sale at Target last week for dinner every night. They free-feed on Iams Weight and Harball Control dry, and are sleek and shiny.
My cat puked with Beef dinners and mixed seafood dinners. She gets Iams Hairball control dry food and Iams Chicken Entree, and/or Ocean Fish Entree. She licks the gravy off of the “bits and gravy” types.
Natural Choice. Available at any big petfood store (petco, petsmart, etc).
We used to have a puker, no longer. One of our cats refuses wet food, so we feed them all Natural Choice dry, half and half mix of weight control and regular.
Stiggs is a fussy eater and turns up his snooty little pink nose at most wet food, so it’s all about Trader Joe’s cat tuna–.29 a can, can’t beat it.
Wellness - Turkey & Salmon flavor in the purple can.
Goblin gets sick on foods with grain, and the Wellness has none. It is the fine-ground ‘paste’ style. Not cheap - ~$1.50 per 10.5 ounce can - but love ain’t free I guess.
Other excellent wet foods are Innova, Eagle Pack, California Natural. Independent pet supply stores carry these.
I had a vet once who told be that cats that puke shortly after eating often are allergic to something in the food.
(We refer to the food that looks like cubed or shredded meat as “chunky shit in juice.” 
)
My cats have mostly dry food, but I’ll give them a little blob of Science Diet tinned chicken or seafood when I give them their medicine (crushed pills or drops).
The thing I’ve noticed with both wet or dry foods is that they’ll bring usually back up anything that’s new and unfamiliar to their tummies. If they like it and keep it down, I’ll stay with it.
I feed my cat Whiskas sachets (chicken) which is just about the only thing she’ll eat, I think it’s because she’s the spitting image of the cat on the sachets
My cat is a mega-puker. She has been thoroughly investigated by more then one Vet. It is a little because of her sensitive stomach, and a little from her tendency to eat things that are not even vaguely appropriate, but mostly because she was a swimsuit model in her previous life. We stopped ALL wet/canned foods. She is glossier less barfy now.
We just recently switched our cats from all dry food to dry in the morning and wet in the evening. The one cat will eat anything, but tends to puke more on the Purina Pro Plan.
The other cat will eat NOTHING but Meow Mix Market Select (and only the kind that comes in the cups, NOT the pouch).
He used to eat 3 of the flavors, but has given up on 2 of them and now will only eat the beef. Lately he won’t even eat that unless I show him it actually IS food by putting a few dry pieces in it. When he eats them and inadvertently tastes the beef juice they were sitting in, he realizes that yes, it is edible, and he goes to town on it.
My cat gets Purina One dry food (urinary health formula.) We have a tank-type on-demand feeder, so he decides how much to eat. We don’t feed him any wet food, ever. He does catch and eat some on his own schedule, though.
He’s a lean, strong, athletic cat, in excellent health. My vet called him “the perfect cat.” She grumbled about all the chubby kitties she sees. “Their owners are slowly killing their cats by feeding them yummy canned food every day,” she said.
Fancy Feast.
whatever they can catch that goes squeek <wet crunch>
They free range on whatever dry crunchy stuff mrAu gets in 50 lb bags.
