Why is my 18-year-old cat vomiting, eating fast, and head bobbing?

Question

My cat sometimes is sick. She eats fast. And drinks a lot, as well as eating a lot. She is 18 years old. She was sick yestaday and this morning, and on other occasions. I feed her on aims senior. Which is dry food, and when she is sick, a lot of it is her whole biscuits, which is not digested. And another problem she has is her head nods up and down, with about with about 15 nods a time. She does this every so often, all through the day and evening. Can you help me please. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | 17 years old

Poor Tigger! It sounds like she has multiple things going on. I am worried that she may have hyperthroidism (too high thyroid) which is making her eat really fast/ravenously and causing her to vomit. The head bobbing could be due to this or another issue like diabetes, kidney disease and much more. I strongly recommend to have her checked out by your vet. Your vet can check her bloodwork to figure out the problems and get her started on the proper meds to help her feel better and stop the vomiting. I hope this helps!
