My cat eats very well, but sometimes he throw ups now and then. And I want to know what is it.... I don’t know if he is sick because it’s not something that he does every day! But every week he throw up

It could be Max is eating too quickly causing him to throw up. Try getting him a slow feeder bowl to see if that helps. You can find one online or a pet store. If this doesn't help, then I'd have him seen by a vet. Best of luck.
