My kitten is almost 3 months old and he just started vomiting this morning. It looks as if it’s just his food, should I move him to a sensitive kitten food gradually?

I would continue with the normal kitten food for a little longer. If the vomiting continues, Rascal should be examined by a vet. Common causes of vomiting in a kitten include intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, and bacterial or viral infection. Food allergies are not very common in young cats.
