My 7 year old female cat has been on a hard food diet for sensitive systems. Same product for about 9 months. She recently has had chronic diarrhea and vomiting. Could it be I need to change products?

This may be a food issue but I think you should have her checked by your vet. Because of the vomitting and diarrhea she can become dehydrated very quickly and could lead to other more severe problems. Have bloodwork done to check her liver and kidneys and thyroid. These can all present with the symptoms that she is showing.
