I had to leave him alone today for a few hours so I put him his cooked food in the room and I leave him, he usually eats it earlier than his meal time
Then I gave him his raw chicken meal (chunks with a few pieces of raw bone)
Before I sleep

But a few minutes after that, he meowed loudly, then he started vomiting, he vomited all the raw chicken, I could see the chunks

He's has normal activity
What might have caused this? Maybe the food was too cold? I rarely heat it up since its hot
Or maybe is it because the time between each meal was large this time?
Or did he develop an allergy from chicken? It's what I mostly feed him
I don't know if I'd say he ate it too fast, since its in chunks so he really has to chew

Also what and when should I feed him again? I don't want to upset his stomach more :(

He seems to be quite hungry but I don't know if I should give him any food now :(
Dad tells me to give him some yogurt but I'm not too sure about that :(

Personally I would give her tummy some time to settle and not feed her right after vomiting.  How old is she?

Him much time should I leave him without food?

For my adult cat my vet said 12 hours, however for a kitten I wouldn't let them go much more than 4 hours before trying to feed them again.  Perhaps try a very small meal with small pieces.  It could be something as simple as eating too quickly.  If the vomiting continues or your kitty develops diarrhea you should contact your vet.  Small kittens can dehydrate quickly.

Okay, but what should I give him?
Should I give him his normal food or should I give him something else?

I always go for bland cooked chicken when my guys aren't feeling good.
