hey my cat had kittens on easter and we just started feeding her kitten (the other 2 died couple days after birth) wet kitten food and it has diarrhea and is puking white mushy stuff today and it’s not foam i’m pretty sure also my other cat had kittens that are dying she had 6 and there’s only 2 left and this kitten was eating off of her could they be something wrong with that cat that’s making this one puke?

Please have both of these mother cats spayed as soon as possible. This is heartbreaking to have so many kittens die. If the mothers have issues with diseases or "fading kitten syndrome" these cats should not be breeding.

The kitten probably is vomiting from the food although a disease is not out of the question. Vomiting can also be from worms. A vet exam is always recommended in these cases.

I suggest you use this food for kittens when they are transitioning from milk to regular food.
