My cat just arrived, rarely ate kibble, so I gave cat treats, and it vomited twice this afternoon-the vomited food was the treats
If a newly arrived cat vomits cat treats twice, stop the treats and let the gut rest, fast 4-6 hours with water, then resume easily digestible food in small meals. Watch for continued vomiting; adjust diet back to kibble and avoid human food, consulting a vet if it worsens.
Cat took a 5-hour car ride yesterday, ate and drank normally at the new home, then suddenly vomited yellow fluid at noon today
Vomiting yellow fluid after a long ride may be carsickness, stress, diet change, or gastroenteritis/panleukopenia. Fast briefly and see a vet if it persists.

Kitten Milk-Paste Food vs. Kitten Kibble: What’s the Difference?
Milk-paste (milk cake) food suits kittens in the 1–4 month weaning window — tiny, soft, easy to mash, and gentle on undeveloped teeth and tummies. Kitten kibble (1–8 months) has larger, firmer pieces that exercise the jaws. Both are far richer than adult food; pick based on your kitten's age and your feeding routine.
At how many months can a cat eat unsoaked kibble?
At 3 months a cat can stop soaking kibble; teeth are mostly grown, and wet-soft food harms dental health. Gradually reduce water to transition to dry kitten food, in 3 to 4 small meals daily to avoid indigestion. After adjusting, add egg yolk or minced chicken breast for nutrition.
