Answer
Hello Hope,
I had a little problem with my kitties throwing up like you describe. Yuck!  I finally started feeding in the morning and then evenings.  I also started using smaller bags of food.  When dry food is exposed to the air, it begins to accumulate and form mold.  Bags of food will sometimes have enough mold build up in them, that by the time you reach the bottom of the bag, the food is virtually inedible, and will make your pet sick.  It's a good idea to by the smaller bags, to keep the food as fresh as possible.  Also be sure and fold over and clip the bag closed when not in use.  I have been practicing this for a while now, and have had no more problems....Max cat food is a good choice, but there are others out there that are the better choice.  Wysong, Precise and Innova to name a few.  
Hope this has been helpful for you.  Thank you for your inquiry and your intrest in this site.
