Many old cats are known to suffer from kidney diseases. 

This video shows a cat that came to Toa Payoh Vets owing to VOMITING.
Vomiting can be due to different causes. Most people think it is due to food poisoning or eating the wrong food. 

The vet must consider the differential diagnosis. The most likely cause in an older lethargic anaemic cat that has lost weight is kidney disease. Abdominal palpation is very important. 
Laboratory aids to diagnosis are important. These are: blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound if needed. 

 In this case, the X-ray shows abnormally enlarged cat kidneys. The cat has chronic kidney disease as supported by blood test results. High blood creatinine and blood urea indicate kidney disease.
