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.
