My 12-year-old cat is vomiting, weak, and can't walk. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, My 12 year old female american shorthair cat has been sick for a month. After force feeding her pate and water for weeks, she greatly improved, perked up and was eating a little on her own. Last night, she was vomiting throughout the night and she's extremely weak today, sleeping and unable to walk. I have no means to take her to a vet. I don't think she has been poisoned/no access to houseplants. I believe this started with constipation and likely still is. A syringe of water/broth works.

Her condition is much more complicated than you may think and a syringe with water and force feeding is not going to solve the problem, she could be suffering from intestinal blockage, Lymphoma, a tumor or some there severe intestinal disease. there is no way around it, you must take her to the vet and you need to do it urgently.
