Why is my 5-year-old cat eating more, vomiting, and losing weight?

Question

i think something is wrong with my male 5 year old cat but i just cant figure out what it could be. he lost all his teeth, his appetite increased but he throws up all his food because of his tooth loss, he sleeps all day and has been sneezing like crazy and itching. and there are certain areas on his body that he wont let me touch and he isnt gaining any weight.

Romeo is gorgeous! Thank you for including pictures. Missing teeth is not a reason that Romeo should be vomiting. I think I would recommend having your vet do an exam and do some blood work to evaluate for something like hyperthyroidism which causes cats to eat more, but not gain weight because their metabolism is abnormal. It is a treatable condition, and there are certainly other things that could be going on with Romeo, so I would start with a trip to the vet to determine what might be going on with him and to determine how to treat it. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Romeo feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
