Cat Vomiting Undigested Dry Food

My senior cat has started vomiting undigested/unchewed dry food. It happens on
a daily basis. For one week, I only fed him canned food and he did not vomit.
But with 3 other cats, it is a problem not to have any dry food available when
I am at work. He seems to feel fine. He keeps down canned food with no
problems. His blood/urine panels are normal and xrays showed no blockage. My
vet had the ultrasound doctor look at the xrays as well and he could not see a
problem. His teeth don't seem to be bothering him. The vet also looked at them.
Has anyone had this problem or any suggestions? Thanks!

My senior cat also does this. Solution was, I quit feeding him dry food. No
problem.
The other cats get dry food occasionally, especially Boots, who really prefers
it over canned. I just have to be conscientious about removing the food when
she's done with it so Yo doesn't eat itt.

My senior cat also cannot eat dry food. I only feed her canned.

The fact he stopped chewing strongly suggests a dental problem.  If I were
you, I'd order dental x-rays -- which may reveal a problem that wasn't
visible or detectable during the cursory oral exam.
