I am very sorry to hear that Your cat is experiencing these troubling clinical signs. Unfortunately in elderly cats vomiting, weight loss and changes in appetite and drinking habits could be the first signs of potentially serious medical Conditions, which require bloodwork and a physical exam by your vet to diagnose. Because these symptoms have been noticed over a week period, I would suggest scheduling a visit in the next few days. If Your cat becaomes depressed, has difficulty breathing, or collapses I would take him in immediately. The vet will test for common metabolic diseases of elderly cats such as kidney disease, hyperthyroidism and diabetes, and may want to perf advanced imaging of the chest and abdomen using an X-ray or ultrasound to check for masses, intestinal blockages, and foreign bodies. I hope that this was a helpful answer, but more Importantly I hope Your cat starts to feel better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
