I have a 15 year old Tonkinese that is now vomiting about every three or 4 days, usually soon after I feed her some "Wet" tin food in the morning. Then after she chucks up she will often look for cobwebs to eat. I have tried cutting right back on tin food and in smaller portions which helps somewhat.
Have been feeding both my Tonkinese cats "Hills Science" dry food also.
Will be visiting the vet soon.
Did you find a cure or remedy that eased the symptoms for the IBD disease that you speak about ??

On a side note, I've recently discovered that a weird chewing he used to do sometimes is actually teeth grinding. Teeth grinding in cats is associated with excess stomach acid.

Sometimes these strange things they do are actually symptoms of something else and not just cute behavior.
