2 of our 12 week old kittens have over the past week started to get sick. They both used to be the biggest kittens and now are bony, one of the little ones you can feel his vertebrae perfectly... they cry constantly, a painful sounding cry. and have been throwing up what looks like water and one of the adult cats is starting to vomit now as well. They dont have much of an appitite but I have seen them eat a little bit.

They eat a dry food called Kit-kaboodle (spelling may be wrong) and once a day in the morning a single can of wet food is put down for all 5 of the cats in the house. A brand called Figaros- albacore tuna.

Please dont yell at me for not taking them to the vet, they arnt my cats and I have no money. they are my fiance's mothers whom we live with and she's says theres nothing wrong they just have a cold.

any advice would be great.

Losing weight and vomiting is bad, that it's spreading between all the cats is even worse.

I'm sorry that you're stuck in a situation where you have to see them suffer like this. Is it possible that your finance could talk some sense into her? They need to go to a vet, ASAP. Kittens are just like human babies, what may seem like a "cold" can easily turn into something worse that can kill them if left untreated.

Note on the food, if it's the one I think it is -semi moist colorful junk, then that needs to be changed in the future.
