I wouldn't expect pumpkin puree to make Lio vomit occasionally, unless he's eating his food too fast or is eating too much. He could also have a GI illness, hairballs, may have eaten something rotten, or intestinal parasites among other causes leading him to vomit. I would Lio seen by a vet for this to make sure there isn't a medical cause behind his occasional vomiting.
