Cat Always Drinks An Oddly Large Amount of Water?!

Now that you mention it...he does vomit on our beds or on the runner rug pretty regularly... I thought it might be the younger one doing it (she likes hacking hairballs on people feet, the weirdo) but I caught him doing it the other day, so I think it was him all along.

To every one saying to take him to the vet, I would, except that I can't afford it right now. My father refuses to help me pay any possible vet bills, saying "well if he has a disease, it doesn't matter because he'll die soon!" (since the cat is roughly 16). I would just take him myself, but as I have no way to pay the bills, I've be pretty screwed. I guess I'll just have to set aside some money from my paychecks...
