I don't personally have cats, but my dad and stepmom have 11 (they tend to do a lot of rescuing of neighborhood kitties).
It seems like a combination of gooshy food to dry is good. Dry is good for keeping the teeth clean, gooshy is better for protein. I've never seen their cats barf, but one just wouldn't use the litter box so she was an "always outdoor" kitty (who was finally found a new home). 3 are "always indoors" and a couple of the others are mostly outdoors but come in sometimes. That drives me nuts because I'm super, crazy allergic to fleas and my dad says going outdoors doesn't bring the fleas in but I have bites to prove it.
The elevated bowls sounds like a good idea, the reason for it makes sense. I'm sorry General's tummy gets so sick.
