So one of the cats at my moms house, he seems ok...but a bit lethargic and sometimes he throws up a bit more than a cat should. About a year ago I convinced my mom and her boyfriend to spend a little extra on grain-free cat food that is all meat and that seemed to help. But last time I went over to her house it seemed like the cat was having the same kind of issues again. My mom did tell me her boyfriend insists on splitting a can of wet food between the cats...and usually a cheap brand. So I worry that maybe that portion of wet food is hard for him to digest if it has grains and filler ingredients.

Like for whatever reason he's just sensitive, so I think he really needs quality food that doesn't have a lot of fillers. But not sure what to do...maybe I just need to go tell my moms boyfriend my concerns. I know he cares about the cats so he'd want to do the right thing for them. But I am also not sure if that is the problem...I just worry because I really like that cat he was really affectionate last time I went over there so I hope he doesn't have some kind of terminal cat illness or something.

lol also did not know where else to post this...I mean pet health is health to, right?

I read you shouldn’t feed a cat cheap food. The cat should go to the vet. I need to call my vet, time for a check up for my cat.
