I'm trying to move my cats off Felix As Good As It Looks (pouches) and onto a new high protein diet (steam cooked, comes in tins).
One of them was quite sick this morning an hour or so after I fed him half a tin (2 tins a day is what he'll eventually work up to). In the vomit was mainly undigested food but also a clump of fur. I've been trying to switch them over slowly but I don't think I've done it right. They normally get half a pouch in the morning and at lunch with a full pouch and a small scoop of biscuits in the evening. Last night they had a pouch each and this morning I gave them half a tin each. Every day for about a week I've been feeding them 1 tin and 1 pouch and a couple of times they've had a bit of tin and pouch together.
He's not being sick with the pouches. After he was sick this morning he asked for more food so I gave him half a pouch along with another half an hour ago and there's been no more vomiting. He's otherwise healthy, gums might be a bit pale but they look the same shade as the other cat and his pads are bright pink. The same level of activeness and nothing 'wrong' apart from the vomiting. He has asthma but no changes recently.
Have I moved him across too quickly? Should I take him to the vet tomorrow? Should I move both cats fully back to the pouches and try again slowly?
(Note: this is the 4th vomit in about 3 weeks and is much bigger than the rest. 2 have been on the new food.1 was 3 weeks ago, was more like bile and happened 30mins before feeding time. The other one happened just after my partner left this time last week. They had been visiting for a week after not being able to see the cats for 7 months. This could be stress related if that's a thing because this cat has also peed outside the litter box during house moves/routine changes before)
