Hello. Can anyone help suggest some alternative foods for this cat?
Background
I visited my mom recently and noticed her >10 year old cat had lost a dramatic amount of weight in the past 8 months, now weighs ~5 lbs whereas it used to be 11 lbs. However, she does not currently act frail, weak, and is still very mobile.
The weight loss seemed to coincide with chronic vomiting after eating Fancy Feast Medleys. For as long as she has been an adult cat, FF has been her preferred food. Now she reliably vomits it up within 30 minutes or else refuses to eat it at all. The same seems to happen with other canned brands. Dry food, especially, results in vomiting.
What's interesting is she never vomits unseasoned human-grade meats, like grilled chicken. I have observed this in person.
Nutritionally, I don't think she can survive on only grilled chicken, but I am interested in exploring options that will prevent her from wasting away. She seems to have good quality of life aside from vomiting issues.
