My shoots-from-the-hip vet thinks trying to get a cat to shed pounds is a waste of time.
I have the same situation as Chico, a couple of fatties, the three others seem to know how to regulate themselves. The part about cleaning up each other's dishes made me laugh, they are so stealthy, you just have to turn your back and...
Good food without alot of grain and other crap is an excellent start, and then you just do your best, cut back on the portions a little, no between meal snacks.
Some people put down the dishes for fifteen minutes and then they're gone until the next meal, in other words no grazing. My Rupee is a true grazer so I always leave a bowl of kibble for him high up that the others can't reach. They're all good drinkers.
I wouldn't get too stressed about it, or about the vomiting, unless it happens on a regular basis.
