It could be a number of things that cause those symptons. Depending on her age, she may just be deteriorating from old age. She may have feline leukemia or feline aids. These diseases will cause loss of weight and appetite.
She is obviously very uncomfortable feeling this way and you are the only that one that can help her. Don't continue to let her suffer. It's time to seek the help of a veterinarian to determine what is best for her.

Get that cat to your vet ASAP! It is never normal if a cat will not eat or is losing weight!!! They dont just not eat! There is something wrong. I would advise you...(Not a vet but) instead of waiting to see what people are going to say, go to your emergency vet, bc sometimes things like this can't wait, and if you do, it will be too late.

To thedudej....Are you a licensed veterinarian? What makes you such an expert? Or are you just being a sicko?
To the asker...Don't listen to thedudej. Get the cat to the vet. Only a veterinarian can do the right thing for your cat.

Hey sweetie, it would be best if you took her to you vet. Depending on her age she could be developing renal failure. She also could have gotten into a toxin. Either way she's probably dehydrated from the continuous vomiting and will need fluids and possibly overnight hospitalization. Your best bet is to get her to a doctor ASAP.
Best of luck to you.

I just put my dog down yesterday for that reason.Couldn't stand to see him suffering,he was an old man and a very good animal.The vet told me they start doing that when they are ready to go if they are old.Take her to a vet,and do what you can to ease her suffering.Maybe it is something else,and they can stop whatever's going on.
Sorry for your situation and good luck
