What do you think made my cat throw up?

I checked her vomit and their weren't any forign objects but whenever she did throw up their would be some pieces of kibbles. I used to feed her purina since it didn't make her throw up much especially if I gave her "purina one beyond" she is now on authority and I haven't had to clean up throw up in 3 weeks (usually I was cleaning it up every 3 days to a week)

Also what is a good food to add to make a rotation so far authority and simply nourish are the only 2 in my price range right now I'm thinking of adding Nutro as a 3rd since it too is in my price range.

My cat would also throw up wet food too especially if fed friskies or 9lives (which I will never feed again after finding fish bones in the 9lives)

Update:

I'm not switching too fast I do the switch as slow as possible I just change brands so my cats (I have 2) have more variety in their diet.

    Could be that some of the foods causing her to vomit are not as digestible as others. For example, ingredients like chicken by-products and ground or whole corn are not particularly digestible and therefore can cause digestive upset like vomiting and diarrhea. If you find these ingredients in your food, it is a good idea to switch to something more digestible. It sounds like you've done this with some success. Adding Nutro into your rotation would be fine as it contains no chicken or animal by-products, no ground or whole corn as well as no artificial colours, preservatives or flavours.

    I don't typically recommend rotating cat food for variety, instead I would suggest finding a kibble that she likes and adding variety through wet food. Wet food is a great way to add moisture to your cat's diet too since cat's are notorious for not drinking enough water.

    Hope that helps :)

    Are you changing its diet very rapidly?

    If that's the case than you should only slowly introduce her to new foods by putting a little bit of the new food you want her to start eating into the old food she is eating. For at least a week I think.
