Why is my 13-year-old cat vomiting, diarrhea, and gaining weight?

Question

13 year old female cat. Began vomiting occasionally about a month ago. Frequency has increased. Cat is currently unable to keep food down. She vomits immediately after eating even a tiny amount. Litter box contained yellowish/light brown diarrhea. Cat is aggressive with other animals. Cat appears to have gained weight. Her stomach is larger and rounder than it was 3 months ago. I'm not sure how she could be gaining weight considering how little she eats and how often she vomits. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 years and 9 months old | 10 lbs

Please have her assessed by a vet as soon as possible, the abdominal enlargement in the face or persistent vomiting and diarrhea is a huge concern. Fluid build up , liver disease and tumors are all possibilities, early diagnosis is required in order to fully assess all options for her care
