Is that a possibility? Food allergies are pretty common and can cause the cat to appear to be very sick.

I doubt it. He has been eating the same food for 8 years and only sick for 6 months. And the vet didn't suggest it so I am guessing the vet didn't think so.
I weighed him this morning and he has lost another lb even though he eats more than ever.
It has been torture today. I tried calling the place back to get an appointment and no one is there (but weirdly they have a recording on like someone is) and today my cat hasn't thrown up and seems pretty spry...
But in my gut, I know this is a serious illness and it is just a matter of time until he has a crisis.. which could be in the middle of a blizzard, thunderstorm, or when I am at work...
But because it was suggested I have ordered the food. I was reading the reviews and they talked about frequent scratching and my cat does scratch himself a lot.
