My old cat is up all night, vocal, hungry, and throwing up. Why?

Question

My 18 year old cat, who we believe is deaf, sleeps all day and is up all night. He eats both dry and wet food but during the night he "screams" at me every hour on the hour to get up and feed him another TBS of wet food. He has also started throwing up more.

Sounds like he probably has an overactive thyroid - very common in older cats. I suggest you have him to your vet for an exam. This is not something you can correct at home. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/hyperthyroidism-in-cats/ )
