So I'm sort of to the point where this is causing me pretty serious concern and since I have to work today, I can't take my cat to the vet. Help me internet!
The cat in question is, I want to say, starting to push 14 - 15 years old. He seems to be fine other than the fact that he's a) groomed all the fur off of his butt / lower abdomen / back of his hind legs ( though he's done this once before as a response to stress so that may be the case again ) and b) he's throwing up literally all the time.
His food and water intake appear to be roughly normal but at times he eats too fast and throws up almost immediately - I've tried to remedy that by feeding him very slowly so he has a chance to chew, not just inhale the food - and that's more or less normal, so that doesn't concern me. What does is the throwing up of what looks to be partially digested food. Definitely fully chewed / made into mush by his stomach. And it's been happening multiple times a day for the past...three, maybe four days on the outside.
We have two other cats but he's kept isolated from them with his own food, water, and litter box.
He doesn't seem to be lethargic. He can walk, run, jump, etc just fine. Totally normal, except the overgrooming again and the throwing up.
I am planning on taking him to the vet tomorrow since I'm off work, but any suggestions beforehand would be appreciated.
