Why is my 14-year-old cat vomiting daily, not eating, and wants human food?

Question

I have a male cat that is about 14. We had been to the vet for check up, where I told them about his vomitin. though maybe hair balls. Anyways, it's been weeks of him vomiting almost everyday. Sometimes multiple times. His hard food is left out and he hasn't been eating as much as usual. Seems to last way longer then normal. He has never been about people food but now wants it. He seems to act normal other then the vomiting everywhere all the time. ???? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 7 lbs

Poor Snoop! I'm not sure if any tests were done on him when he saw the vet, and there could be a number of reasons causing his daily vomiting. They include kidney failure, liver disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and cancer. It is not normal he is vomiting daily, and he needs to go back to the vet. I recommend getting a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis as a start to try to get an idea of what is causing his vomiting. Depending on those results, your vet may want to do further testing such as x-rays or an ultrasound. I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
