Why is my 12-year-old cat vomiting bile nightly with fishy breath?

Question

My 12 year old cat has been vomitting every night which is something he has never done. He has a pungent strong fishy odour from his breath. He has never suffered with hair balls and is brushed daily. The vomit is large, very yellow with a tint of orange and is mostly bile. He is an indoor cat and is regularly given worming tablets. Feed is the same which is dry biscuits. He is having normal bowel movements. Drinking and appetite are normal. Seems o.k in himself just wanted advice please.

I would schedule a vet visit for a full exam and bloodwork. Sudden changes to breath and the inclusion of bile in the vomit could indicate an issue such as organ dysfunction which needs to be checked out and treated, especially if this has been ongoing for several days.
