This is a specific conversation about Cat food for sensitive stomachs — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Digestive sensitivity in cats is more often down to food intolerance than a true allergy, and the good news is it usually responds well to a limited-ingredient or novel-protein diet — you don't need to complicate things. Before I point you toward something specific, it would help to know: what symptoms is your Persian showing — vomiting, loose stools, or something else? How long has this been going on? And what are you currently feeding her?
She's 6 years old, a Persian. She's been vomiting a couple of times a week for about two months now, and her stools are quite loose. I'm her owner — I'm elderly and I really just need one straightforward food I can stick with, nothing complicated. She's currently on a supermarket mixed variety pack.

That makes complete sense, and honestly a single consistent food is the right approach for a sensitive cat anyway — variety packs are one of the most common triggers because you're constantly rotating proteins and additives. Persians also have a few breed-specific needs, including a jaw shape that affects how they eat. Can I ask: is she indoor-only, and is she a healthy weight? That'll help me make sure the food I suggest is a proper long-term fit.
Yes, she's indoors all the time and her weight is fine — the vet said she's healthy apart from the stomach issues.

Perfect. My recommendation is Royal Canin Persian Adult wet food in gravy — the loaf or mousse pouches, not a mixed pack. It's formulated specifically for Persians, so it takes the guesswork out completely. The ingredient list is consistent across every pouch, which is exactly what a sensitive stomach needs, and it uses highly digestible proteins that tend to settle well with cats who react to cheaper mixed feeds. You buy one product, feed the same thing every day, and most cats with supermarket-triggered sensitivity improve noticeably within three to four weeks. It's widely available on Amazon UK in bulk boxes, so you won't need to reorder constantly either.
That sounds really manageable. Should I switch her over straight away or do it gradually?

Gradually is always better, especially with a sensitive stomach. Mix about 25% of the new food with 75% of her current food for two or three days, then go 50/50 for another two or three days, then 75% new food, and by around day ten you're fully switched. It feels slow but it really does reduce the chance of more vomiting during the transition. Once she's settled on it, just keep going — no need to rotate or introduce anything else.
Brilliant, thank you. That's exactly what I needed — just one clear answer.

You're very welcome. To recap: Royal Canin Persian Adult wet food, single flavour, gradual switch over ten days. If the vomiting hasn't reduced after a month on the new food, it's worth a follow-up vet visit to rule out anything else — but the majority of cats in this situation do well with a consistent, breed-appropriate diet. I hope she settles quickly.
