Portia is nearly 16 and a semi long haired beastie.
She has always puked hairballs..a lot. She is soft silky, delicate and a naughty tortie.. can't be picked up, touch her tummy and you'll need stitches... takes three adults and a pillowcase to get pills into her.. she's awesome!
But over the last week she has puked daily and while there is usually a hairball in it, there have been a few pukes of straight cat food. She's a tiny cat.. never more than 7 pounds in weight and these days about 6.5 max but passed her last check up fine (bit the vet 
)
I'll get her to the vets as soon as they re open, but I'm a bit concerned. Vet said she had slight thickening of her intestines (age related) a while back.. could this be the problem? She's not a cat we can give meds to easily.. she was a farm kitten, semi feral, and while fabulous.. best purr ever.. is not handleable for medication.. she absolutely panics if you attempt to pick her up.
I've not had a cat this old before sadly.. is this normal for an ageing cat? Is there anything I can do to help? She eats little, but loves felix doubly delicious, or canned tuna.. vomits any dry food...
(and her she is about to turn off my laptop because I didn't immediately drop everything to go attend to her demands ...
