First of all, ANY hairball control formula is a horrible food to feed any cat. They all have too many grains, don't care who makes them.
Secondly, a cat which is vomitting excessively needs veterinary attention. Period. Especially at 11 years old.
Thirdly, the best diet for any cat is one high in real meat, no grains whatsoever. Yes, they are more expensive, but your cats will be healthier. The company Wellness makes a grain free dry food called Core, if you must feed dry food, I recommend that.
And please no Hill's. Not even the prescription ones. I don't care what the vets say - they've been fed a line of BS from Hill's sales reps.
Everyone needs to be aware that vets get very very little nutritional training in school - what they do get is sponsored by Hill's.
I am very proactive about cat nutrition now and I implore everyone to get rid of grains in their cat's food. CATS DO NOT EAT CORN, WHEAT OR SOYBEANS. PERIOD.
