My 7-year-old cat coughs eating, vomits, and lost weight. Is he sick?

Question

My 7 year old cat sneezes, and coughs only when eating he seems fine otherwise. Yesterday though he vomited and again this morning only it was more flemmy this morning. I also noticed he has lost a bit of weight. He is usually quite vocal but notice he doesn't miaow as much. I am concerned about him. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered

I would definitely recommend seeing a veterinarian for a physical exam. The coughing could be a sign of asthma, although it is a little unusual that the coughing only occurs when he's eating. He might also have an upper respiratory infection. The weight loss in particular is concerning. The vet might recommend taking some chest x-rays and blood work.
