Cat vomiting, I'm away...

I'm on a 10 day vacation visiting family on the West Coast and my two kitties are on the East Coast. I have a friend dropping by daily to take care of them. Per the usual, my dominant one, Josie, may be gobbling up the dry food and overeating. I use the SuperFeeder to dispense the kibbles onto a large dinner plate. It's probable that Josie isn't sharing with her sister. I've asked my friend to switch out the plate with two small pet bowls and hope the division of food will prevent Josie from hoarding the dry food.

In any case, my friend reported that Josie vomited today after her wet food feeding. She said that Josie appeared to be fine otherwise and the vomiting may be due to eating too much dry food. My friend has already left my apartment and I just asked my friend to call me while she's at my apartment tomorrow. I think it's just a case of overeating, but honestly, I'm sick with worry. This is my biggest concern--my cats' health while I'm away.

Is there anything I should ask my friend to look out for in particular? I told my friend that if Josie appears listless, than it's definitely off to the vet. I'm afraid that it could be something more than too much kibble and poor Josie won't have anyone to check on her until the next morning.

Tell her to go to a toy store and buy a few ping pong balls or a baseball to put it inside of the dry food bowl... This will slow down their eating, and should solve the problem...
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll ask my friend to switch to the smaller bowls for the kibbles. And also to serve the wet food in 2 halves and see if that helps. I think ultimately it's not an issue of speed rather that's it's Josie not sharing the dry food. The smaller bowls help to slow her down since they are not "ergonomic". I've seen the cats stop eating and use their paws to move the last few kibbles to the middle of the bowl for ease of eating.

Just hoping Josie is alright and it's just some upchucking. I hate the thought of her in discomfort without care and loving.

My cat Misty vomits at times and she has been on lots of holistic foods and recently on the wellness core but she is still vomiting and has very tiny poo droppings.

I decided to switch her to the Royal Canin Digestive Comfort 38 as it helps the cat chew slower and not eat as fast. That's the main cause of vomiting in cats as they eat too fast. This food slows that process down and it helps the cat get all the nutrients slowly and its easier on the digestion system.

I know it has corn and such but Misty didn't do well on corn free, wheat free, soy free , by products free foods. I think food is food to me. So if my cat has a sensitive stomach I'm trying her on a food that helps with that problem.

Hugs,
