Cat Yowling, Vomiting, & Other Issues - Shifting to Holistic Treatments

[el_gato_blanco]

Hello all,

This is my first post as I joined a few weeks ago. Long story short (TL;DR) - I have an older cat (Kiki) who was living on the edge of demise and suffering horribly, but has improved in the severe areas, yet currently has three symptoms of concern: Yowling early mornings, vomiting, and an abscess over her eye. I'm trying to find out why she yowls and why she vomits so much. (I'm not concerned about the growth now.)

Kiki's Current Health Concerns

1. Yowling - Raspy, wild yowling repeatedly in the early morning at me when I'm sleeping - We previously had multiple extreme incidents of this in the middle of the night for which I had to take her to the ER, for thousands of dollars, as she was clearly in immense pain and had UTI and constipation issues. But since I have shifted her nutrition to frozen meats and freeze-dried (away from a thyroid medicine kibble), there have been no severe episodes like this for a couple of months. But similar and to a lesser degree, she will scream at me multiple times like 4 or 5 AM from my bedroom doorway until I connect with her or convince her to jump up on the bed and settle in and relax, or go to her litter box and take care of business. I tend to think that her UTI issues and constipation are under control now as I don't see her straining to do #1 anymore, and she does #2 daily and enough. Any ideas why she is doing this morning yowling?
2. Vomiting - she vomits once or twice a day, projectile vomit. 85% of the time there's a hairball in it, and 10% of the time a piece of grass, and 5% neither. Should I be concerned about hairball vomiting? Or grass vomiting? She goes outside a little every day in a yard with basically no grass but she finds little pieces through the fence. Are these normal? It just seems too frequent to be entirely healthy.
3. Abscess over eye - This was growing steadily for months, but I eventually realized it was caused by wifi next to her bed, now the house has no wifi. It's improved a little, losing coloration.

Some more detail and history on Kiki:

• Urinary tract infection (UTI) - She last had this in June 2025 - causing the extreme night screaming/ER visits/peeing all over the house - and was given antibiotics (I would avoid this now), completed late June 2025
• Hyperthyroidism - She was taking a medical Y/D kibble food until just over a month ago and the thyroid supposedly dropped from 14mm to 8 (normal is 4)
• Constipation - She had been to the vet numerous times screaming in the night with constipation and UTI, but these have not come back for a few months
• Choking - She used to have have chronic severe choking, but now it's just vomiting.
• A little heart murmur - probably caused by fast thyroid

Kiki's current primary foods

• Solutions organic Cat Chicken Recipe - Cat Chicken Recipe
• Feline Natural freeze dried chicken
• Running water from a dispenser

My health philosophy
In recent months, I have shifted my own health philosophy to terrain health/medicine and terrain nutrition - under a form of holistic health care. I don't subscribe to homeopathy, however. Prior, I was managing her health via alternative/holistic health means as much as I could, but without a holistic local vet and a very allopathic ER locally so she suffered treatments that I believe were very harmful. I will hopefully never give her another pharma "remedy" to toxify her.

Maybe this was too much information! But I'd be grateful for any insights.

Thank you in advance, Michael
