| A lot of cats are allergic to the dye that is found in many foods,
some just can't tolerate "rich food" (food with a high fat content) and
some can't tolerate an abrupt change in diet. Some cats even have food
intolerances (lack of enzymes that are needed to break down certain
foods)
My twins, who are half Siamese, seem to have all three of the above
problems. I've heard that Siamese in general seem to have sensitive
little tummies. As somone that has both food intolerances and allergies,
I really can really relate to the problems these little critters have.

| My mom's cat, Alfie, up-chucks about twice a week - sometimes more
often. She tried switching foods and that didn't seem to matter.
He's also a siamese and a little on the high-strung side. She
has noticed that if he eats real fast it will come right up, or
if he's in one of his nervous moods, especieally if he's been scolded
or scared by something real or imaginary. I have a siamese, Gino,
who never looses it but then I have to check his breathing to see
if he's alive he's so laid back - all 13-1/2 lbs. of him.

| If Mao eats too quickly, or is having furball problems she'll
also lose her food.
I would get the cats off that store bought stuff and try some
of the "Premium" foods like Hills or some of the "natural" cat
foods that aren't full of additives and dyes. These foods are
much better for the cats anyway, but it would help you determine
if it is an allergy to the additives.
Another approach would be to feed boiled rice and chicken (not turkey)
exclusively for a while and see if they lose that. Since those
foods would have no additives it would rule that possibility out.

| Gonezo is my culprit, and sometimes Barney. They woof their food down
SO fast, that it comes up equally as fast. Last night, Gonezo threw up
on a mat by the slider and tried to bury it. Out of sight, out of
mind, and mom won't shove him out the door so he'll get sick outside.
